How do you tell if lines are perpendicular based on slope?
The slope (rise over run) of one line will be a number (n) or (-n) and the perpendicular line's slope will be the exact opposite. So, for instance, if one line has a slope of 2/3, then a perpendicular line's slope must be -2/3, and vice versa.
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to 7y equals 3x-6?
Slope of the given line is 3/7 So slope of perpendicular line is -7/3
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line 3x plus y equals 7?
Slope of given line = -3 Therefore, slope of perpendicular = 1/3
What is the slope of line that would be perpendicular to 6x-2y equals 12?
Slope of given line = 3 So slope of perpendicular = -1/3
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 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

The slope of line a is 3 what is the slope of a line perpendicular to a?
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.
The slope of a line is -3. Find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line. The slope of a line is -3.?
The slope of two lines are perpendicular only if their slopes multiplied together equal -1 (m1*m2 = -1). So if a line has a slope of -3 then a line perpendicular to this one has a slope of -1/-3 or 1/3.
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to 7y equals 3x-6?
Slope of the given line is 3/7 So slope of perpendicular line is -7/3
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line 3x plus y equals 7?
Slope of given line = -3 Therefore, slope of perpendicular = 1/3
How do you find a slope of a line perpendicular?
If two nonvertical lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slope is -1.An equivalent way of stating this relationship is to say that one line is perpendicular to another line if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other. For example, if a line has slope 3, any line having slope - 1/3 is perpendicular to it. Similarly, if a line has slope - 4/5, any line having the slope 5/4 is perpendicular to it.
The slope of a line is two-thirds What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
Perpendicular line = - 1/gradient= - 1/2/3= - 3/2
What is the slope of line that would be perpendicular to 6x-2y equals 12?
Slope of given line = 3 So slope of perpendicular = -1/3
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 is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of .33?
Perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1. As this is always true, if we think of .33 as about 1/3, then the perpendicular line would have a slope of -1/(1/3) which is -3.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line that contains the points 0 and 2 and -3 and 4?
Slope: (2-4)/(0--3) = -2/3 Perpendicular slope: 3/2
