Slopes of perpendicular lines will be opposite reciprocals. This means that the slopes have opposite signs and that one is 1/ the other. For example, 2 and -1/2.
If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.
negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel
Well, if you use the point on the graph that the two lines intersect the slopes would be defined by the y intercepts. This doesn't really help or answer your question, I'm just thinking out loud.
Those lines are perpendicular.Those lines are perpendicular.Those lines are perpendicular.Those lines are perpendicular.
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
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.

Perpendicular lines are lines that cross one another at a 90° angle. They have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of one another. Perpendicular lines intersect each other.
I believe they have Negative Slopes as stated by my Geometry Book. "Perpendicular Lines Have Slopes Which Are Negative ___"
Negative reciprocal slopes always represent perpendicular lines.
Take any two lines and look at their slopes. -- If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. -- If the product of the slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.
Slopes of line perpendicular to the x-axis are undefined.
That the slopes of the lines are the opposite of each other and negative. Ex: y=2/3x+b then the line perpendicular to it is y=-3/2+b
