Answer by askmemath(368) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes = -1
So first we find the slopes of both the lines
mx-y=b
This can be re-written as
y = mx-b <--Slope Intercept Form
Slope in this case = m
x+my=c
my = -x +c

Slope in this case =
Now product of the 2 slopes =
= -1
Hence the two lines are Perpendicular
