What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope of 3 over 5?
-5/3 it is always the opposite reciprocal for a perpendicular slope
What type of slope does perpendicular lines have?
Th opposite reciprocal. So if one line has a slope of 2 then the other line will have a slope of -1/2
What does the slope of a linen on a distance - time graph represent?
The speed. Also, if a positive slope represents the speed in one direction, the negative slope is the speed in the opposite direction.
If the slope of a given line is 0 what is the slope of an orthogonal line?
If the original slope is 0, then the opposite reciprocal of 0 is still 0. Oops! Reciprocal of 0 (n/0) is undefined! A vertical line has undefined slope, the horizontal line has slope of 0.
Do the sides of a parallelograms have equal slope?
Each pair of opposite sides has equal slopes.
True or false perpendicular lines have opposite slopes?
Not for the usual definition of the word "opposite." The perpendicular of a line having a slope of 2 has a slope of -0.5.
What direction is the force of friction compared to the surface of a slope?
Parallel to the surface of the slope and opposite to the movement of an object on the slope. Parallel to the surface of the slope and up-slope, in the case of an object resting in place on the slope.

Do perpendicular lines have opposite slopes true or false?
No, the slope will be -1
Do Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes?
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
Do the sides of a parallelograms have equal slope?
Each pair of opposite sides has equal slopes.
What is perpendicular to y equals 7x-4?
11
Are 5x-7y equals 6 and 5y-7x equals 4 perpendicular?
No, because a slope needs to be negative and opposite the other slope to be perpendicular and in this problem it is not.
What is the slope of a perpendicular line if the slope of a line is -13?
A perpendicular lines slope is always the negative or opposite reciprocal of a lines slope. Therefore, if your slope is -13/1 then the perpendicularity of the other line is 1/13. The 13 would change positive there fore its its already a negative number then change it posiive.
