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 you have two perpendicular lines in a plane:* Either the product of their slopes is equal to -1,
* Or, one slope is zero, and the other slope is undefined (for a vertical line).
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
Those lines are perpendicular.Those lines are perpendicular.Those lines are perpendicular.Those lines are perpendicular.
No, the slope will be -1
of mutually perpendicular lines.
