How can we tell if two lines are parallel perpendicular or neither just from their equations?
If the slope of the equations are the same then they are parallel If the slope of the equations are minus reciprocal then they are perpendicular If the slope of the equations are different then they are neither
Are two lines with the same slope and different y-intercept perpendiculars?
No because two lines with the same slope but with different y intercepts are parallel lines. Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles.
Does perpendicular lines have the same slope?
No, lines have the same slope if and only if they are parallel to each other.
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.
How do you use slope to determine if two lines are perpendicular?
You have to know the slopes of both lines. -- Take the two slopes. -- The lines are perpendicular if (one slope) = -1/(the other slope), or the product of the slopes equals to -1.
What is the slope of perpendicular lines?
The slope of a perpendicular line is not defined.
Two lines with the same slope and different y-intercepts are perpendicular?
No because two lines with the same slope but with different y intercepts are parallel lines. Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles.
Do perpendicular lines have the same exact slope?
No, parallel lines have exactly same slope Perpendicular line have a slope that is negative reciprocal of each other that is if m = slope of line then slope of perpendicular line is -1/m
How can we tell if two lines are parallel perpendicular or neither just from their equations?
If the slope of the equations are the same then they are parallel If the slope of the equations are minus reciprocal then they are perpendicular If the slope of the equations are different then they are neither
If two lines are perpendicular do the have the same slope?
No but if the two lines are parallel then they will have the same slope.
Are two lines with the same slope and different y-intercept perpendiculars?
No because two lines with the same slope but with different y intercepts are parallel lines. Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles.
What is the slope relationship of perpendicular lines?
They are negative reciprocals. So if the slope of a line is x, the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/x
Does perpendicular lines have the same slope?
No, lines have the same slope if and only if they are parallel to each other.
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.

When is the product of the slope of two perpendicular lines not equal to -1?
When the lines are horizontal and vertical. (slope of zero) (undefined slope)
Do Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes?
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
