If two lines are perpendicular, the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line. This means that if one line has a slope of ( m ), the other line's slope will be ( -\frac{1}{m} ). For example, if one line has a slope of 2, the slope of the perpendicular line will be -(\frac{1}{2}). This relationship ensures that the two lines intersect at a right angle.

How do you calculate parallel and perpendicular lines in a given plane?
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.
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.
If the product of the slopes of two lines equals -1 then the lines?
Are perpendicular to one another.
Would perpendicular lines have negative or positive slopes?
I believe they have Negative Slopes as stated by my Geometry Book. "Perpendicular Lines Have Slopes Which Are Negative ___"
Can two lines both have negative slopes and still be perpendicular?
Yes, as long as the negative slopes are both equal.
If two lines are their slopes are negative reciprocals?

When is the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines not equal to -1?
When the perpendicular lines are horizontal and vertical.
What must be true about the slopes of 2 perpendicular lines?
The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative inverses of each other. In other words, the two slopes when multiplied together equal -1.
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

Are perpendicular.
If the product of the slopes of two lines equals -1 then the lines?
Are perpendicular to one another.

Do Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes?
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
