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)
How do you know if two line segments are perpendicular?
their slopes are negative reciprocals.
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
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.
What is perpendicular line?
A sole line can't be perpendicular. To be perpendicular, a line has to meet with another line, to form right angles on either side. Perpendicular is the exact opposite of parallel. Parallel: = Perpendicular: -|
What is a line that is like perpendicular but straighter?
"Perpendicular" is a straight line at a 90 degree angle from a line it touches or intersects. There is no line "straighter" than a perpendicular line, that I know of.
Does every line have an infinite number of lines perpendicular to the given line?
Yes. There can be a line perpendicular to the given line at every point on it, and you know how many different points there are on it ...
What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to and passes through the point (4 6)?
That would depend on its slope which has not been given.
A line that is at a right angle to another line?
Perpendicular line.
What is right bisector in math?
A right bisector of a line segment, is better know as a perpendicular bisector. It is a line that divides the original line in half and is perpendicular to it (makes a right angle).
What line is perpendicular to a vertical line?
A horizontal line is perpendicular to a vertical line.
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)
How do you know if two line segments are perpendicular?
their slopes are negative reciprocals.
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
