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.
How does the slope between two parallel lines compare?
The slope between two parallel lines is identical. This is because parallel lines have the same slope and will never intersect. The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, and when two lines are parallel, they will have the same steepness, resulting in the same slope. Therefore, the slope between two parallel lines will always be equal.
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.
