  4. m1 * m2 = 1

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the condition for two lines to be perpendicular?
  • Step 1: Understand what a slope is. The slope of a line shows how steep it is.
  • Step 2: Identify the slopes of the two lines. Let's call them m1 and m2.
  • Step 3: Multiply the two slopes together. This means you calculate m1 * m2.
  • Step 4: Check the result of the multiplication. If the result is -1, then the two lines are perpendicular.
