\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Determine which two equations represent perpendicular lines.
\n" ); document.write( "(a) y = 5/8 x – 3
\n" ); document.write( "(b) y = 3x – 5/8
\n" ); document.write( "(c) y = -1/3 x + 5/8
\n" ); document.write( "(d) y = 1/3 x – 5/8 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " The condition for the two lines to be perpendicular is \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " product of their slopes = -1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " From th above given eq'ns (b) and (c) their slopes are 3 and -1/3 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " hence their product = 3*-1/3 = -1 which satisfies the condition
\n" ); document.write( " (b) and (c) are perpendicular to each other
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
