If line m is perpendicular to line n and line n is perpendicular to line r how is line m relatred to line r?
Lines r and m are parallel or line r is line m continued
Which is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y equals -2x plus 6?
line in data is y=-2X+6 The perpendicular line will have a slope of = +1/2 Note : m X m' = -1 , m= slope of line 1 ; m'= slope of perpendicular line to line 1
Given that the slope of a line is 1 3 what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
If we call the slope m we can say that the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m In this case as the slope, m, is 13 the slope of the perpendicular is -1/13 or -0.07692307692
What kind of slopes do perpendicular slopes have?
Negative reciprocals. That is, if one line has slope m (m ≠0), then the perpendicular to it has slope -1/m. If m = 0, the slope of the perpendicular is not defined - the line is of the form x = k.
What would be the perpendicular line for y equals -x-5?
If the gradient of a line is m, the gradient of a line perpendicular to it (m') is such that mm' = -1, that is: m' = -1/m So for: y = -x - 5 m = -1, so the gradient of a perpendicular line is: m' = -1/-1 = 1 So a general line perpendicular to y = -x - 5 would be: y = x + c A specific line perpendicular to y = -x - 5 at point (xo, -xo-5) on the line is: y - (-xo-5) = 1(x - xo) ⇒ y = x - 2xo - 5
what- line m is perpendicular to line L, line n is perpendicular to line m.?
Line L is parallel to line n.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with a slope of m is -1/m.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
If line m is perpendicular to line n and line n is perpendicular to line r how is line m relatred to line r?
Lines r and m are parallel or line r is line m continued
Line l is parallel to line m line l is perpendicular to line p what conclusions can be drawn about the relationship between lines m and p?
Lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line. Since the lines m and l are parallel (given), and the line l is perpendicular to the line p (given), then the lines m and p are perpendicular (the conclusion).
Which is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line y equals -2x plus 6?
line in data is y=-2X+6 The perpendicular line will have a slope of = +1/2 Note : m X m' = -1 , m= slope of line 1 ; m'= slope of perpendicular line to line 1
What is the relationship between slope and a perpendicular line?
If a line has a slope m then a line perpendicular to it has a slope -1/m ( negative inverse). For example if a line has slope positive 2, its perpendicular has slope -1/2
Given that the slope of a line is 1 3 what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
If we call the slope m we can say that the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/m In this case as the slope, m, is 13 the slope of the perpendicular is -1/13 or -0.07692307692
Line n is perpendicular to line m. Line l is perpendicular to line m. Is it possible for line n and line l to be skew?
No. It's impossible. There's a corollary that states: If two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then the two lines are parallel.
What kind of slopes do perpendicular slopes have?
Negative reciprocals. That is, if one line has slope m (m ≠0), then the perpendicular to it has slope -1/m. If m = 0, the slope of the perpendicular is not defined - the line is of the form x = k.
If two lines are perpendicular what is the respective slopes equal to?
Given any line L, with slope m, the perpendicular line has slope -m.
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
