If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other then they are if they have slopes that are the same then they are?
negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel
What is the definition of a slope of parallel lines?
Horizontal lines have a slope of zero, and the slope of vertical lines is undefined. Parallel lines have equal slopes, and perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. So we can say that: Two nonvertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Two lines are perpendicular if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. That is, if the slopes are m1 and m2, then: m1 = - 1/m2 or (m1)(m2) = -1
How wold you classify two linear equations have the same y-intercept and different slopes?
Two linear equations (or lines) with the same y-intercept and different slopes are intersecting lines. They intersect at the y-intercept. If the slopes are negative reciprocals (ex: one slope is 3 and one slope it -1/3) then they are perpendicular lines.
What does it mean if two line segments are perpendicular to each other?
their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. and they make a right angle when they intersect.
How do slopes of perpendicular lines compare?
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 two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other then they are if they have slopes that are the same then they are?
negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel
What has to be true about the slopes of two perpendicluar lines that's neither vertical?
The slopes are negative reciprocals.
If the lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals?
If you have two lines that have negative recipricals (1 and -1 for example), the lines are perpendicular.
Two numbers are if their product is -1?
Two numbers are negative reciprocals if their product is -1. The numbers 1/2 and -2 are negative reciprocals. Their product is -1. This is often seen in problems involving the slopes of two lines. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. Their product is -1.
If the slopes of two lines are negative reciprocals the lines are perpendicular. true or false?
true (APEX)
If the slopes of two lines are negative reciprocals, the lines are perpendicular. true or false?
true (APEX)
If two lines are perpendicular?
one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other
How do you know if two non-vertical lines are perpendicular?
They are perpendicular if their slopes are mutual negative reciprocals.
What is the definition of a slope of parallel lines?
Horizontal lines have a slope of zero, and the slope of vertical lines is undefined. Parallel lines have equal slopes, and perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. So we can say that: Two nonvertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Two lines are perpendicular if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. That is, if the slopes are m1 and m2, then: m1 = - 1/m2 or (m1)(m2) = -1
What can you say about the slopes of two non-vertical perpendicular lines?
They are negative reciprocals Ex -1/2 and 2
What do you call two lines with opposite reciprocal slopes?
perpendiculars("Opposite" is a pretty arbitrary condition in math. The slopes are negative reciprocals.)and by negative that person means the opposite of what it is already, negative or positive, it's not always negative
How do you know if two line segments are perpendicular?
their slopes are negative reciprocals.
