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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only relation is if the slope of first line is m then other's slope would be -1/m rest all equation remains as it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is the inverse of the other equation, therefore forming a 90 degree making it perpendicular.

Directrix (directrix):

Theorem: If two lines are perpendicular, neither with a slope of zero, then the product of their slopes is -1. If a line has a slope of zero, it is a horizontal line and the line perpendicular to it is a vertical line.
