What is the relationship between slope and a perpendicular line?
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
What is the formula for slope of a perpendicular line?
if line's A and B are perpendicular to each other, the slope of A = -1/(the slope of B)
Do perpendicular lines have the same exact slope?
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
The slope of line a is 3 what is the slope of a line perpendicular to a?
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.
The slope of a line is two-thirds What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
Perpendicular line = - 1/gradient= - 1/2/3= - 3/2
