Algebra.Com's Answer #14660 by venugopalramana(3286) You can put this solution on YOUR website! gradient of line joining (x1,x2),(y1,y2)is given by (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) \n" ); document.write( "product gradients of 2 perpendicular lines =g1*g2 = -1 \n" ); document.write( "so we have gradient of ab =(-1-2)/(4-3)=-3/1=-3=g1 \n" ); document.write( "g2=-1/g1=-1/-3=1/3.............the other example also is similar\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A(-6,3)...............B(6,3) \n" ); document.write( "g1=(3-3)/(6+6)=0=g1 \n" ); document.write( "g2=-1/0= -infinity \n" ); document.write( " |
