Given y = 2x
the slope of that line is simply 2,
A perpendicular line would have the negative inverse of 2, -1/2 or -.5
thus y = 2x is perpendicular to y = -.5x
Y = -(1/Mx) + b
is perpendicular to:
Y= Mx + b
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
If two nonvertical lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slope is -1.An equivalent way of stating this relationship is to say that one line is perpendicular to another line if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other. For example, if a line has slope 3, any line having slope - 1/3 is perpendicular to it. Similarly, if a line has slope - 4/5, any line having the slope 5/4 is perpendicular to it.
The slope of two lines are perpendicular only if their slopes multiplied together equal -1 (m1*m2 = -1). So if a line has a slope of -3 then a line perpendicular to this one has a slope of -1/-3 or 1/3.
Yes, I can.
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
Slope of a line perpendicular to x-y=16
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
Perpendicular line.
There are infinitely many lines perpendicular to this line. All of them have the slope of -4/3, if that fact is of any help to you.
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
A line is perpendicular to another line when it is at an angle of 90° to the other line. + (that plus sign is an example of a perpendicular line)

To find the perpendicular line segment from a point to a line by folding paper, first, place the point on one side of the line and the line itself on the opposite side. Fold the paper so that the point aligns directly over the line, ensuring the fold creates a crease that intersects the line at a right angle. The crease represents the perpendicular segment from the point to the line, and its intersection with the line is the foot of the perpendicular. Unfold the paper to reveal the segment clearly.
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 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.
A line is perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular on two lines from the plane
The slope of two lines are perpendicular only if their slopes multiplied together equal -1 (m1*m2 = -1). So if a line has a slope of -3 then a line perpendicular to this one has a slope of -1/-3 or 1/3.
