Two points don't have a slope. But the line between them does. The line between the points (-5, 3) and (3, 3) has a slope of zero.
Slope of the given line is 3/7 So slope of perpendicular line is -7/3
Slope of given line = -3 Therefore, slope of perpendicular = 1/3
-5/3 it is always the opposite reciprocal for a perpendicular slope
If they are parallel then the slope of the other line is also 7
-(1/3)
if the slope of a line is 2/3, then the slope of a parallel line would be 2/3.
The slope of two lines are perpendicular only if their slopes multiplied together equal -1 (m1*m2 = -1). So if a line has a slope of -3 then a line perpendicular to this one has a slope of -1/-3 or 1/3.
If two nonvertical lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slope is -1.An equivalent way of stating this relationship is to say that one line is perpendicular to another line if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other. For example, if a line has slope 3, any line having slope - 1/3 is perpendicular to it. Similarly, if a line has slope - 4/5, any line having the slope 5/4 is perpendicular to it.
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 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
The slope of a line that has the points 3, (-4), and has a slope of 2 is 2.
The lines below are perpendicular. If the slope of the green line is -1, what is the slope of the red line?
