To find the slope of a diagonal in a coordinate plane, you can use the formula ( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} ), where ( (x_1, y_1) ) and ( (x_2, y_2) ) are the endpoints of the diagonal. If you are considering two diagonals of a shape like a rectangle or a square, they are indeed perpendicular to each other if they intersect at right angles, as in the case of rectangles and squares. For other shapes, you would need to determine the slopes of both diagonals and check if their product equals -1 to confirm perpendicularity.

Can you find the area of a rectangle if the problem doesn't show you the base and height?

The one alternative to find the area of a rectangle is when you are given the length of one diagonal and its slope.


Are two lines with the same slope and different y-intercept perpendiculars?

No because two lines with the same slope but with different y intercepts are parallel lines. Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles.


How do you you find slope and y intercept?

To find the slope you need to find the Y-Intercept (the line that crosses through the Y-Axis) then on the Y-Intercept move one unit to the right and go either up or down until you've hit the diagonal line.


Define the word slope?

Slope is found by calculating rise over run. It represents the steepness of a line and the line's direction. The higher the absolute value of the slope, the more the line's steepness increases, and vice versa. If the slope is positive, the line is diagonal upwards to the right ( / ). If the slope is negative, the line is diagonal downwards to the right ( \ ). If the slope is zero, the line is horizontal. If it is "undefined", the line is a vertical line.

Define terrace cropping?

Terracing is the process by which a hillside is converted by humans from a diagonal slope to a stepped slope. This provides flat areas that can be farmed more easily than on the slope. Terrace cropping is another term for farming on terraces.

How do you find the side of a square if you know its diagonal?

Divide the length of the diagonal of a square by 1.4142 (which is the square root of 2) to find the length of a side. Similarly, to find the length of the diagonal of a square, multiply the length of a side by 1.4142.
