Question
If two lines are perpendicular to each other, their slopes are ____________.
- The same.
- Negative reciprocals of each other.
- Positive
- Same
Hint:
We are given an incomplete statement. We have to choose the right option to complete the statement.
The correct answer is: Negative reciprocals of each other.
The question is about the slopes of lines which are perpendicular to each other.
We have to tell the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines.
Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.
So, the correct option is “negative reciprocals of each other”.
For such questions, we should know the properties of perpendicular lines.
