If the product is -1 then the lines are perpendicular to one another.
Take any two lines and look at their slopes. -- If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. -- If the product of the slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.
Are perpendicular to one another.
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.
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.
perpendicular
Take any two lines and look at their slopes. -- If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. -- If the product of the slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.
It is always -1.
-1
In that case, the product of the slopes is equal to minus 1.
Are perpendicular.
Are perpendicular to one another.

When the perpendicular lines are horizontal and vertical.
Perpendicular lines * Two lines that create an angle of 90 degrees and the product of their slopes is -1.

The sum of their slopes is 0. The product of two lines that are perpendicular with slopes m and -m i= -m^2 Hmmmm... Seems we're both wrong again. The answer is -1. See the link I attached.
If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.(And if they are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is minus one - unless one line is horizontal and the other vertical.)
