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 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
if line's A and B are perpendicular to each other, the slope of A = -1/(the slope of B)
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.
No, parallel lines have exactly same slope Perpendicular line have a slope that is negative reciprocal of each other that is if m = slope of line then slope of perpendicular line is -1/m
Perpendicular line = - 1/gradient= - 1/2/3= - 3/2
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with a slope of m is -1/m.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
if line's A and B are perpendicular to each other, the slope of A = -1/(the slope of B)
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
The slope of the perpendicular is -(1/2) .
They are negative reciprocals. So if the slope of a line is x, the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/x
-(1/3)
