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 slope m is -1/m. So for a line with slope 1/7, any line perpendicular to it will have: slope = -1 / (1/7) = -7
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
line in data is y=-2X+6 The perpendicular line will have a slope of = +1/2 Note : m X m' = -1 , m= slope of line 1 ; m'= slope of perpendicular line to line 1
That line is vertical. Its slope is "undefined".
-1/2 (APEX)
1/4
9 (APEX)
If you mean points of (3, 9) and (-4, 2) then the slope of the line is 1
-7 (APEX)
If you mean points of (3, 9) and (1, 3) then the slope is 3
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 you mean points of (1, 6) and (-5, -7) the slope works out as 13/6
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
The slope of a line and the perpendicular to that line, when multiplied together, give -1. So, if the first line has a slope of 1/21, the second has a slope of -21.
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.
