PERPENDICULAR LINES
WHEN TWO LINES ARE PERPENDICULAR, THE SLOPE OF ONE IS THE
NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL OF THE OTHER. WHEN TWO LINES ARE
PERPENDICULAR TO EACH OTHER (AT RIGHT ANGLES OR 90), THEIR SLOPES
HAVE A PARTICULAR RELATIONSHIP TO EACH OTHER. IF THE SLOPE OF ONE
LINE IS M THEN THE SLOPE OF THE OTHER LINE IS THE NEGATIVE
RECIPROCAL OF M
