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).
