Perpendicular lines = Right Angles, thus any right angle related things work, and you know the angle of one of the 3 (90 degrees) so the perpendicular line as a slope of 90 minus the the angle of the undefined:

Since the angles of a triangle must add to 180

Undefined + Perpendicular + Right Angle (90) = 180

Or something like that... been a while since I did geometry... hope this helps

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line and so a line that is perpendicular to it is a horizontal line. In the coordinate plane, that would be a line with the equation y = c (for some constant c).
