Now in this question we're going to be talking about how to find the slope of perpendicular lines.
00:07
Now if you're given that the slope of a line is m so the first line has a slope m then a perpendicular line will have the slope of the negative reciprocal so it's actually supposed to be the negative reciprocal so that's the slope of the second line.
00:29
So if the format the format for the slope over the street line is y equals mx plus b.
00:36
And the value m is representing slope.
00:41
And so the perpendicular slope will be negative 1 over m just as i had explained before.
00:48
Now i'm just going to go and give you different examples.
00:52
Let me let me give you an example if y equals 2x plus 3.
00:59
And you're told to find the perpendicular slope or the slope of the perpendicular line.
01:04
So you'll first get the first the value of the slope which is 2, m is 2, the coefficient of x and the slope of the perpendicular line will be negative 1 over 2.
01:17
So that is the slope of the perpendicular line...
