How do you tell if lines are perpendicular based on slope?
The slope (rise over run) of one line will be a number (n) or (-n) and the perpendicular line's slope will be the exact opposite. So, for instance, if one line has a slope of 2/3, then a perpendicular line's slope must be -2/3, and vice versa.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope of 3 over 5?
-5/3 it is always the opposite reciprocal for a perpendicular slope
What is the equation of a line that passes through the point 0 2 and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of 3?
Slope of line: 3 Perpendicular slope: -1/3 Equation: y-2 = -1/3(x-0) => y = -1/3x+2
How do you write the equation for a perpendicular line?
Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.
What is the slope of line that would be perpendicular to 6x-2y equals 12?
Slope of given line = 3 So slope of perpendicular = -1/3

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with slope of 3 over 5?
-5/3 it is always the opposite reciprocal for a perpendicular slope
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line that contains the points 0 and 2 and -3 and 4?
Slope: (2-4)/(0--3) = -2/3 Perpendicular slope: 3/2
The slope of a line is two-thirds What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
Perpendicular line = - 1/gradient= - 1/2/3= - 3/2
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line that contains the points 0 2 and -3 4?
The slope of the line joining the two pints is (4 - 2)/(-3 - 0) = -2/3 Therefore the slope of the perpendicular is 3/2
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to 2x-3y8?
If you mean: 2x-3y = 8 then y = 2/3x-8/3 and the perpendicular slope is -3/2
The slope of a line perpendicular to y equals -2x plus 3?
A perpendicular line has the negative reciprocal of the slope. The perpendicular line has a slope of 1/2 y=1/2 + 3 The 3 or y-intercept can really be any number though.
What is the perpendicular bisector equation passing between the points 3 -4 and -1 -2?
Points: (3,-4) and (-1, -2) Midpoint: (1,-3) Slope: -1/2 Perpendicular slope: 2 Perpendicular bisector equation in slope intercept form: y = 2x-5
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a slope of zero?
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -2/3 is 3/2, (or 11/2 or 1.5).
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line passing through the points 5-1 and 2-5?
Points: (5, -1) and (2, -5) Slope: 4/3 Perpendicular slope: -3/4
What is the equation of a line that passes through the point 0 2 and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of 3?
Slope of line: 3 Perpendicular slope: -1/3 Equation: y-2 = -1/3(x-0) => y = -1/3x+2
How do you write the equation for a perpendicular line?
Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.
