How do you write the equation for a perpendicular line?
Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.
Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to x equals -3?
"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
What is a line perpendicular to the vertical?
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.
Could you write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line given that passes through the point shown?
Yes, I could, if I knew the slope of the line given.
What is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment intersecting the line segment at its midpoint?
perpendicular bisector
How do you write the equation for a perpendicular line?

Write an equation of the line that is perpendicular to x equals -3?
"Y = any number" is perpendicular to "x = -3".
A line that is at a right angle to another line?
Perpendicular line.
How do you write the equation of the line perpendicular to the line x equals 6 and passing through the point -4 5?
The line "x = 6" will be perpendicular to any line "y = C", where C is any constant. That means that the line which is perpendicular to "x=6" and passes through [-4, 5] will be "y = 5"
What line is perpendicular to a vertical line?
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
A line is perpendicular to another line when?
A line is perpendicular to another line when it is at an angle of 90° to the other line. + (that plus sign is an example of a perpendicular line)
What is a line perpendicular to the vertical?
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.
When is a line perpendicular to a plane?
A line is perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular on two lines from the plane
Could you write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line given that passes through the point shown?
Yes, I could, if I knew the slope of the line given.
Write the equation of the line that has a y-intercept of 0-9 and is perpendicular to the line 3x - 9y 8?
-3x+9=y
Write the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y x - 3 and containing the point 8 -2?
y = -x + 6
What is the difference between a perpendicular line and a perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular line is one that is at right angle to another - usually to a horizontal line. A perpendicular bisector is a line which is perpendicular to the line segment joining two identified points and which divides that segment in two.
