Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y equals 2x plus 1?
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
How do you find a slope of a line perpendicular?
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 a line is -3. Find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line. The slope of a line is -3.?
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.
Can You can find a perpendicular line segment from a point to a line using the folding paper technique?
Yes, I can.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular?
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.
Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y equals 2x plus 1?
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
Find the slope of a line perpendicular to x - y equals 16?
Slope of a line perpendicular to x-y=16
A line that is at a right angle to another line?
Perpendicular line.
Find the equation of a straight line perpendicular to the line 4y-3x12?
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.
What line is perpendicular to a vertical line?
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
How do you find a slope of a line perpendicular?

A line is perpendicular to another line when?
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)
The slope of line a is 3 what is the slope of a line perpendicular to a?
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.
What is a line perpendicular to the vertical?
A horizontal line is a line perpendicular to the vertical.
When is a line perpendicular to a plane?
A line is perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular on two lines from the plane
The slope of a line is -3. Find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line. The slope of a line is -3.?
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.
What is the difference between a perpendicular line and a perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular line is one that is at right angle to another - usually to a horizontal line. A perpendicular bisector is a line which is perpendicular to the line segment joining two identified points and which divides that segment in two.
