Question

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line, is the negative reciprocal. The negative reciprocal means that you flip the fraction and change the
sign

TRUE or FALSE

Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a fact about the perpendicular lines:

The product of their slopes is -1

Example:

• If the slope of one line is $\frac{2}{3}$, then the slope of the line which is perpendicular to it is $\frac{-3}{2}$  because  $\frac{2}{3}$ × $\frac{-3}{2}$ = -1

• $\frac{-3}{2}$ is the negative reciprocal of  $\frac{2}{3}$

• To get the slope of a perpendicular line to a line flip the slope of the line and change its sign

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line, is the negative reciprocal is TRUE

Answer 2

The correct answer is true
