For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.
Lines that have the same slope in math?
Lines that have the same slope are said to be parallel lines.
Lines always have a slope of zero.?
Horizontal lines always have a slope of zero. (i.e completely flat, level surfaces have a slope of zero). However a line does not have to have a slope of zero in order to be a line.
Does perpendicular lines have the same slope?
No, lines have the same slope if and only if they are parallel to each other.
Do parallel lines have negative reciprocals?
The slope of parallel lines are the same, but the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.
For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.
Steeper lines have a what slope than that of flatter lines?
Flatter lines have a _____ slope than that of steeper lines
Lines having the same slope and the same y-intercept?
In two dimensions, are the same line.
True or false perpendicular lines have opposite slopes?
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.
Lines that have the same slope in math?
Lines that have the same slope are said to be parallel lines.
What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
How close the contour lines are is an indication of an area's?
elevation
What slope do horizontal lines always have?
Horizontal lines always have a slope of 0.
Can intersecting lines also be parellel?
No, parallel lines are defined as always being the same distance away from each other, or having the same slope.
Do vertical lines have a slpoe of zero?
No. Horizontal lines have zero slope. Vertical lines have infinite slope.
A vertical line has a run which is?
run as in slope of a line is zero . horizontal lines have no slope and vertical lines have a slope of zero
When is the product of the slope of two perpendicular lines not equal to -1?
When the lines are horizontal and vertical. (slope of zero) (undefined slope)
