What is the opposite of the reciprocal of a perpendicular line?
I suppose you mean what is an opposite reciprocal? At any rate, we should start there. The opposite reciprocal is -(1/x) so let's take the number 5. The opposite reciprocal would be -1/5. If you want two lines to be perpendicular you must take the original slope of the first line and change it to its opposite reciprocal. For example: y=5x A line perpendicular to this line would be y=-1/5x.

Slopes of line perpendicular to the x-axis are undefined.
