Perpendicular slopes are opposite reciprocals of one another.
Opposites: put a negative sign in front of one number to find its opposite
Examples:
6 - 6
- 2 3 - ( - 2 3 ) 2 3
Thus, the opposite of - 3 2 is 3 2
Reciprocals: flip the numerator and denominator of the number to find its reciprocal
Examples:
- 5 - 5 1 1 - 5 - 1 5
3 4 4 3
The reciprocal of 3 2 is 2 3
