What is the slope of a line that's perpendicular to a horizontal line?

A vertical line does not have a defined slope. If you think of slope as a fraction, it would be dividing by zero, which doesn't work. So, basically, no solution

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with a slope of m is -1/m.
Slope of horizontal line?
The slope of a horizontal line is zero.
If the slope of a line is 0 is the line horizontal or vertical?
if the slope is 0, the line is horizontal.
The slope of a horizontal line is?
Horizontal lines have a slope of 0.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to x equals -4?
The line x = -4 is vertical, so a line that is perpendicular to it is horizontal, so its slope is 0.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the y axis?
A line perpendicular to the y-axis is a horizontal line (slope = 0) and is of the form y = b Therefore the required line is y = 5
Find the equation of the line perpendicular when the slope is zero?
when the slope is 0, the graph is a horizontal line on the x axis so the y axis is perpendicular to it, which can be written x=0
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.
Which formula is correct for the slopes of perpendicular lines?
if slope is given as m then perpendicular slope is -1/m (negative inverse)
For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with a slope of m is -1/m.
What is a perpendicular line referring to slope in math?
The slope of a perpendicular line is not defined.
What is the slope of a perpendicular line is always?
The negative reciprocal of the slope of the line to which it is perpendicular.
What is the relationship between slope and a perpendicular line?
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
