Explain, in complete sentences, the relationship between the equations of perpendicular lines.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if m is the slope of one line then the slope of the other line is -1/m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it was just their slope is the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no - those are parallel lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we write equations in the slope / intercept form: y = 3x + 5 y =3x + 7 the slope is 3 and they are parallel
