I believe they have Negative Slopes as stated by my Geometry Book. "Perpendicular Lines Have Slopes Which Are Negative ___"
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.
That the slopes of the lines are the opposite of each other and negative. Ex: y=2/3x+b then the line perpendicular to it is y=-3/2+b
When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. For example:y=5x-3 andy=5x+9These lines are parallel, because they have the same slope.When two lines are perpendicular they have negative reciprocal slopes. For example:y=2x-6 andy=-1/2x+2These lines are parallel, because they have negative or opposite reciprocal slopes.
Yes, perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. This means that if one line has a slope of ( m ), the slope of the line perpendicular to it will be ( -\frac{1}{m} ). For example, if one line's slope is 2, the perpendicular line's slope would be -0.5. This relationship ensures that the lines intersect at right angles.
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
Slopes of perpendicular lines will be opposite reciprocals. This means that the slopes have opposite signs and that one is 1/ the other. For example, 2 and -1/2.
If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.
No, the slope will be -1
Perpendicular lines are lines that cross one another at a 90° angle. They have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of one another. Perpendicular lines intersect each other.
Not for the usual definition of the word "opposite." The perpendicular of a line having a slope of 2 has a slope of -0.5.

Negative reciprocal slopes always represent perpendicular lines.
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.
Slopes of line perpendicular to the x-axis are undefined.
