How do you show parallel and perpendicular lines on shapes?
Put 2 lines on the perpendicular sides and put 1 line for the parallel sides
What shape has 2 parallel lines and a third line that is perpendicular?
A capital "H."
Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y equals 2x plus 1?
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x plus y equals 8?
For the line 2x + y = 8 , the slope equals ( -2 ) so the required slope of the line which is perpendicular to it is equal to (+1/2 )
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y equals -5x-2?
-3
What line passes through 2 parallel lines?
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
What is perpendicular to y equals 5x-2?

For the line given by y2x find the slope of a line that is Parallel m Perpendicular m?
The line y = 2x If you put it into the form y = mx + b, you have y = 2x + 0 so the slope is 2. Lines parallel to that line have the same slope, 2. Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1. The slope of a perpendicular line to a line of slope 2 would be -1/2.
How do you find the shortest distance between two parallel lines?
The shortest distance between 2 parallel lines is a perpendicular drawn between 2 parallel lines the diagram shows it clearly 1 parallel line ------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | the vertical line is the shortest distance | | ------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd parallel line
What is a pentagon and a rhombus perpendicular lines and parallel?
A pentagon can have 0, 1 or 2 pairs of parallel lines. It can have 0 to 4 lines perpendicular to an adjacent line. A rhombus must have two pairs of parallel lines and none of them may be perpendicular to any other.
What line is parallel to the line y equals 4x-2?
6
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y equals 2 divided by 5x plus 10?
If: y = 2/5x+10 then the perpendicular slope is -5/2x or -2.5x
