Equations of Perpendicular Lines - Algebra - Socratic
For example, the line #y=3x# has a slope of 3.. Any line that is perpendicular to it must be opposite (negative instead of positive or vice versa) reciprocals (multiplicative inverse, reciprocals multiply to 1, flip the numerator and denominator)
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a slope of -4?
2016年7月7日 · The perpendicular slope m=1/4 The perpendicular slope to any given line is the inverse reciprocal of the slope. Given the original slope of m=-4 or m=-4/1 We can take the inverse and the reciprocal which makes the perpendicular slope m=1/4
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a slope
2017年7月27日 · The slope of a line perpendicular to one with the slope of 1/3 is -3. See explanation. If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes equals to -1. So if one of the slopes is 1/3, then we can calculate the second slope using the formula: m_1xxm_2=-1 Here we have: 1/3xxm_2=-1 m_2=-3
How do you find the slope of a line perpendicular to a slope 0?
2018年5月9日 · The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a slope of #0# is undefined. The perpendicular line is a vertical line. A line with a slope of #0# is a horizontal line. A vertical line would be perpendicular to the horizontal line, but the …
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to Ax+By+C=0?
2016年7月31日 · Bx-Ay+C=0 Given - Ax+By+C=0 In such case you have to interchange the co-efficients of x and y and then change the sign of the coefficient of y The equation of the perpendicular line is Bx-Ay+C=0 You can check it by using the formula m_1xxm_2=-1 Slope of the first line - m_1=-a/b=-A/B Slope of the second line - m_2=-a/b=-B/(-A)=B/A Substituting …
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a slope
2016年8月3日 · -5/8 Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1. Hence slope of a line that is perpendicular to a slope of 8/5 is given by -1-:8/5 = -1xx5/8 = -5/8
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a slope
2016年8月18日 · Slope of perpendicular line =6 If two straight lines have slopes m_1 and m_2 respectively, then the lines ...
What is the slope of the line perpendicular to # y=-2 X+3 - Socratic
2018年4月27日 · The slope of the perpendicular line is 1/2. y = 2x + 3 To find the slope of a line perpendicular to a given line, find the slope of the given line. The slope of y = -2x + 3 is -2. (To find the slope, make sure the line is in y = mx + b form.) The slope is the coefficient of x when in that form. The given line is this problem was already in the correct form. To find the …
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a slope
2017年4月17日 · 3/4 Two lines that are perpendicular will always have slopes in which one is the negative of the reciprocal of the other.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line with an
2016年4月12日 · Slope of a line perpendicular to the given line will be -1/2 Let us first write the equation of line 4x-2y=6 to slope intercept form y=mx+c, where m is slope of the line and c is intercept formed by the line on y-axis. As 4x-2y=6, we have 2y=4x-6 and y=2x-3 and hence slope of the line is 2. As the product of slopes of two lines perpendicular to each other is -1, Hence, …
