What is the product of the slopes when the x axis and y axis are perpendicular?
The slope of the x-axis is 0 and the y-axis does not have a slope. For all pairs of perpendicular lines, other than those parallel to the axes, the product of their slopes is -1.
Find the equation of the line perpendicular when the slope is zero?
when the slope is 0, the graph is a horizontal line on the x axis so the y axis is perpendicular to it, which can be written x=0
What is the product of slope of x and y axes?
The slope of the x-axis is zero.The slope of the y-axis is "undefined" or "infinity". Whichever term you use, it's nota number that can participate in ordinary arithmetic operations. So the product ofthe slopes can't be calculated.For any other two perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is -1 .
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the x-axis?
slope is infinite.as slope=tan a.here a=90.
Why is the slopes of product x and y axis is -1?
It is not, because the slope of the y-axis is not defined.

Why the slope of x-axis and y-axis is not equal to -1 whereas slope of two perpendicular line is -1?

What is the slope intercept form of -7-8 perpendicular to the axis?
A line perpendicular to the x-axis does not have a slope nor a y-intercept and so it is not possible to answer the question.

Why is the slopes of product x and y axis is -1?
It is not, because the slope of the y-axis is not defined.
Why the product of slopes of x and y axis is -1?
The only way you can say that is from the general rule that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. You certainly can't demonstrate it from the slopes of the axes themselves, because the slope of the x-axis is zero, and the slope of the y-axis is either infinite or else undefined, whichever term bothers you less.
Given a line with a slope of -1 over 5 what is the slope of any line that lies perpendicular to it?
If they are perpendicular, the product of their slopes should be -1 -1*X = -1 X = 1 The other line has slope 1
What is the y intercept and slope in this equation x equals -5?
There is no y-intercept or slope for this given equation, because its graph is a vertical line perpendicular to the x-axis.
Why is product of slopes of x axis and y axis not equal to one?
We know that the slope of a line is (Changes in y)/(Changes in x). Does the y-axes has changes in y? No. This means that y-axis does not have a slope. The same thing is for x-axis.
How do you graph x equals 2 and what is its slope?
x=2 means that on a graph, on the x axis, there is a point. Also, since it is just x=2 it means that the slope is undefined, or that there is a line that is going through that point that is perpendicular to the x-axis. So basically there is a line that goes through (2,0) that is parallel to the y-axis.
