I can't tell if you meant to say ' y5 ' or ' y = 5'.
-- ' y5 ' is just a number. It can't be graphed, it doesn't represent a line, and the phrase
"perpendicular to it" has no meaning.
-- ' y = 5 ' is the equation of a horizontal line. Its slope is zero. Any vertical line,
with the equation [ x = a number ] is perpendicular to it. The slope of a vertical line
is "undefined" if you want to be mathematically correct, or "infinity" if you don't care.
If y = 5 then there is no slope because the line is parallel to the x axis
Calculate the slope of the given line. Any line parallel to it will have the same slope.
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
The negative reciprocal of the slope of the line to which it is perpendicular.
The slope of a perpendicular line is not defined.
If y = 5 then there is no slope because the line is parallel to the x axis
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
Calculate the slope of the given line. Any line parallel to it will have the same slope.
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with a slope of m is -1/m.
The negative reciprocal of the slope of the line to which it is perpendicular.
The slope of a perpendicular line is not defined.
If a line has a slope m then a line perpendicular to it has a slope -1/m ( negative inverse). For example if a line has slope positive 2, its perpendicular has slope -1/2
The slope of a perpendicular line is not defined.
if line's A and B are perpendicular to each other, the slope of A = -1/(the slope of B)
The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.
