If you have two lines that have negative recipricals (1 and -1 for example), the lines are perpendicular.

If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other then they are if they have slopes that are the same then they are?

negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel


Lines that are perpindicular have slopes that are?

negative reciprocals of each other


What are the slopes of perpendicular lines?

Negative reciprocals of one another.


Are the slopes of vertical lines and horizontal lines negative reciprocals?

No, the slopes of vertical lines and horizontal lines are not negative reciprocals. A vertical line has an undefined slope, while a horizontal line has a slope of zero. Since negative reciprocals refer to two numbers whose product is -1, and since one of these slopes is undefined, they do not satisfy this condition.


What has to be true about the slopes of two perpendicluar lines that's neither vertical?

The slopes are negative reciprocals.


Two numbers are if their product is -1?

Two numbers are negative reciprocals if their product is -1. The numbers 1/2 and -2 are negative reciprocals. Their product is -1. This is often seen in problems involving the slopes of two lines. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. Their product is -1.
