Algebra.Com's Answer #470551 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Lines that are perpendicular to one \n" ); document.write( "another have slopes that multiply \n" ); document.write( "together to give -1 \n" ); document.write( "y = 6x - 3 \n" ); document.write( "Slope = 6 \n" ); document.write( "y = -1/6x - 2 \n" ); document.write( "Slope = -1/6 \n" ); document.write( "6 * -1/6 = -1 \n" ); document.write( "Yes they are perpendicular to each other. \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
