For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.
What is the slope of a perpendicular line 4x plus y equals 2?
-- The slope of the graph of [ 4x + y = 2 ] is -4.-- The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.-- The slope of any line perpendicular to [ 4x + y = 2 ] is 1/4 .
What is the distance between 2 parallel lines measured along a perpendicular to the 2 lines?
The shortest distance between two paralle lines is the length of the line that is perpendicular to both line and intersects both.
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?

What is the gradient of a line perpendicular to y equals 4x -2?
6
Is y equals -2 a parallel line or a perpendicular line?
y=-2 is parallel to the x-axis and perpendicular to the y-axis.
How are intersecting lines alike to perpendicular lines?
intersecting lines are alike because perpendicular lines have to intersect to be perpendicular. 2: They are the same because they touch another line so they are the same.
What is the distance between 2 parallel lines measured along a perpendicular to the 2 lines?
The shortest distance between two paralle lines is the length of the line that is perpendicular to both line and intersects both.
Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y equals 2x plus 1?
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
Can 2 line be intersecting perpendicular?
Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles. (90°) Therefore, by the definition of perpendicularity, two perpendicular lines must intersect.
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 is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y equals -5x-2?
-3
What are 2 non perpendicular intersecting line called?
