two points (4,2) and (1,-1)
slope is rise of run.
rise = -1 -2 = -3
run = 1 - 4 -3
=> slope = -3/-3 = 1
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.
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (1, 1).
Points: (-2, 3) and (1, 1) Slope: -2/3
1/4
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
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.
If a line has a slope m then a line perpendicular to it has a slope -1/m ( negative inverse). For example if a line has slope positive 2, its perpendicular has slope -1/2
Answer:-10/2=-5Solution:The relation between the line slope and it's perpendicular line slope is negative reciprocal, i.e.Slope of the line perpendicular = -1/Slope of the line= -1/(2/10)= -1 x 10/2= -10/2= -5
The slope of the perpendicular to a line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of the original line's slope.The negative reciprocal of x is -1/xSo in this case, where the slope is -2 the perpendicular line has the slope -1/(-2) or simply 1/2
Points: (-1, 2) and (3, -1) Slope of line: -3/4
Perpendicular line = - 1/gradient= - 1/2/3= - 3/2
To find the slope we need to divide the difference in rise between these two points by the difference in run between them. The difference in rise equals: 3-2 = 1. The difference in run between these points equals: 2-4 = -2.Now we just divide 1/-2 and we get the slope of the line formed by these two points: -0.5
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (1, 1).
