Answer:
-10/2=-5
Solution:
The relation between the line slope and it's perpendicular line slope is negative reciprocal, i.e.
Slope of the line perpendicular = -1/Slope of the line
= -1/(2/10)
= -1 x 10/2
= -10/2
= -5

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
How do you tell if lines are perpendicular based on slope?
The slope (rise over run) of one line will be a number (n) or (-n) and the perpendicular line's slope will be the exact opposite. So, for instance, if one line has a slope of 2/3, then a perpendicular line's slope must be -2/3, and vice versa.
When is the inverse of a itself a function?
Since the inverse of a function is it's reflection over the line x=y, which has a slope of 1. The only way a function can be It'a own inverse is if it is a liner function whose slope is perpendicular to the line. Since a perpendicular line is any line with the negative recoprocal of the slope, any linear function whose slope is -1 will be it's own inverse. - stefanie math 7-12 teacher
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
-2 over 3 the slope of perpendicular is?
-3 over 2

What is the slope of the line parallel to the line whose slope is 5 over 2?
The slope is 5 over 2, if they're paralell they have the same slope

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a slope of zero?
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -2/3 is 3/2, (or 11/2 or 1.5).
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line that passes through the points 7 6 and 3 -4?
-10 over 4 i think...
Two lines are perpendicular If one line has a slope of 1 over 21 what is the slope of the other line?
When two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals. In the example, the perpendicular to y= (1/21) x would be y = -21 x For y = 2x, the perpendicular would be y= -½ x You invert the fraction and change the sign.
-2 over 3 the slope of perpendicular is?
-3 over 2
If the slope of a line is two over three what is the slope of a line that is parallel to this line?
The slope is rise over run. If another line was parallel, the slope would be the same.
How do you find slopes?
Slope is easy. Just remember rise over run or change in y over change in x.Pick two points on the line: (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)The slope of the line is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)How to find the slope if you are given two points:The equation for the slope of a line is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). For example, if you have the points (4,8) and (7,6), the slope is (6-8)/(7-4), which is (-2)/3, which is -2/3. You can switch the x's and y's in the equation and get the same result, so you can rewrite the equation as (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). Using the points (4,8) and (7,6), the slope is (8-6)/(4-7), which is (2)/(-3), which is also -2/3.If you end up with 0 on the bottom (such as 4/0), the slope is undefined (since the line goes straight up and down.)How to find slope if you are given the equation of a line in slope-intercept form:See the related question below, "How_do_you_find_the_slope_of_an_equation".How to find slope if you are given the equation of a line in point-slope form:See the related question below, "How_do_you_find_the_slope_of_an_equation".How to find the slope if you are given the equation of a line in standard form:See the related question below, "How_do_you_find_the_slope_of_an_equation".How to find slope if you are given the graph of a line:See the related question below, "How_do_you_find_slope_on_a_graph".How to find the slope of a parallel or perpendicular line:The slope of a line parallel to a line with at given slope is the same as the line with the given slope. For example, the slope of a line parallel to a line with a slope of 3/2 is 3/2, and the slope of a line parallel to a line with a slope of -5 is -5.The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a given slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope if the given line. Flip the bottom and top of the fraction, and then change the sign. For example, the slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 5/4 is -4/5. The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 5 is -1/5. The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a slope of -3/2 is 2/3.
