It means that a line meets another line at right angles or 90 degrees
If you mean y = -13x then the slope of the line perpendicular to it is 1/13
If you mean: y = 6x+2 then its perpendicular line is -1/6.
A mean perpendicular line, often referred to in geometry, typically describes a line that is perpendicular to a given line and bisects it. This means it intersects the original line at a right angle (90 degrees) and divides it into two equal segments. In coordinate geometry, if you have a line defined by a slope, the mean perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the original line's slope.
If you mean: y = -2x+17 then the perpendicular slope line is 1/2 or 0.5
If you mean: y = 4x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/4
If you mean y = -13x then the slope of the line perpendicular to it is 1/13
If you mean: y = 6x+2 then its perpendicular line is -1/6
If you mean: y = 6x+2 then its perpendicular line is -1/6.
For two items (Planes, lines, line segments, ect.) to be perpendicular that means that they meet at a 90 degree angle. Perpendicularity is denoted by the ⊥ symbol. For example line AB ⊥ line CD would mean that the line AB would be perpendicular to the line CD.
If you mean: y = 5x-2 then the perpendicular slope is -1/5
If you mean: y = -2x+17 then the perpendicular slope line is 1/2 or 0.5
If you mean: y = 4x+2 then the line perpendicular to it will have a slope of -1/4
If you mean: y = 4x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/4
no
Perpendicular line.
Two lines are said to be perpendicular when they are at right angles. That means that the angle between them is 90 degrees.There are other meanings of perpendicular; for example, a line is said to be perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular to EVERY line of the plane that goes through the intersection.
If you mean y = 2x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/2
