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) Opposite of 3: -3. Reciprocal of -3 (#-3/1#): #-1/3#. Lines that are perpendicular to #y=3x# must have a slope of #-1/3#.
Explanation: 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. m1 × m2 = −1. Slope of the first line -.
Slope = Δy Δx = y 0. Answer link. It will of the type x=k. This appears to be a bit complicated as normally we say that if slope of a line is m, slope of line perpendicular to it is -1/m, which means just take the reciprocal and change the sign. For example if slope of a line is 3/7, line perpendicular to it will have a slope of -7/3.
The parallel is 7/3 The negative inverse of 7/3 is the perpendicular slope. Lines that are parallel have the same slope. Lines that are perpendicular are negative inverses of each other so 7/3 xx - 3/7 = -1 and you can find this by dividing -1 by 7/3 and -1-:7/3=-1xx3/7=-3/7 So the slope of the perpendicular any where along the line is -3/7.
Explanation: If two straight lines have slopes m1 and m2 respectively, then the lines are perpendicular to eachother if m2 = − 1 m1. In this example: m1 = − 1 6. Hence m2 = − 1 − 1 6 = 6. Answer link. Slope of perpendicular line =6 If two straight lines have slopes m_1 and m_2 respectively, then the lines are perpendicular to eachother ...
1 Answer. Gió. Apr 12, 2015. I would write your line in the form y = mx +c, where m is the slope, as: y = 3x − 8. So your line has slope m = 3. The line perpendicular to this one will have slope m1 = − 1 m = − 1 3. Answer link. iOS.
Help. -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.
Explanation: Two lines that are perpendicular will always have slopes in which one is the negative of the reciprocal of the other. 3/4 Two lines that are perpendicular will always have slopes in which one is the negative of the reciprocal of the other.
Explanation: 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. The perpendicular slope m=1/4 The perpendicular slope to any given line is the inverse reciprocal of the slope.
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.
