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.
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.
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.
