rvc (rvc):

do you know the condition?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean condition?

rvc (rvc):

hmmmmm

rvc (rvc):

let m=slope of given line n=slope of required line

rvc (rvc):

m X n = -1

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

first, find the slope of the line, then use that to find the slope of the line that's perpendicular to it.

I just need some explaining. I need to know how to do this because I got my STAAR test this month.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

find slope using this formula:\[m=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\]

rvc (rvc):

u first find the slope of the given points

rvc (rvc):

do u know to find the slope?
