Question

What does perpendicular mean?

Answer 1

In elementary geometry, the property of being perpendicular (perpendicularity) is the relationship between two lines which meet at a right angle (90 degrees). The property extends to other related geometric objects. A line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines intersect at a right angle.

Answer 2

Ok thank you :)

Answer 3

Np :)

Answer 4

So, a line and its perpendicular line will always create four 90º angles.
(it should like like an X or like a +, if you have a line and its perpendicular line drawn)

Answer 5

Now, as far as equations are concerned.

For any line: y=mx+b , the prependicular line is going to be y=\(\displaystyle\small \rm \frac{-1}{m}\)x

Answer 6

THis perpendicular line can be shifted any number of units up or down.

Answer 7

Why? becauseand perpendicularity doesn't change
