-3,5 and 6,-1
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 lines below are perpendicular. If the slope of the green line is -1, what is the slope of the red line?
Perpendicular line = - 1/gradient= - 1/2/3= - 3/2
The line between the points (3, 4) and (2, 1) has: slope = change_in_y/change_in_x = (4 - 1)/(3 - 2) = 3/1 = 3
A perpendicular line has the negative reciprocal of the slope. The perpendicular line has a slope of 1/2 y=1/2 + 3 The 3 or y-intercept can really be any number though.
Zero
(3--4)/2--6) = 7/8 which is the slope of the line.
Slope = (change in Y) / (change in X) = (12 - 9) / (2 - 1) = 3 / 1 = 3
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.
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.
If the slope is 2/3 and the coordinate is (2, -1) then the straight line equation is 3y=2x-7
Points: (6, -4) and (3, 4) Slope: -8/3
Points: (2, 6) and (-3, -4) Slope: 2
Points: (2, 6) and (-3, -4) Slope: 2
If you mean points of (3, 4) and (-6, 10) then the slope is -2/3
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
Generally the slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of that line, ie if the slopes are m' and m, then mm' = -1. The line containing (-3, 8) and (-3, -6) is a vertical line (no change in x whilst y changes), so the line perpendicular to it is horizontal (no change in y whilst x changes) which has a slope of 0.
