What is the procedure for finding perpendicular equation?


Open in App
Solution

Explain the procedure for finding perpendicular equations.

We know that the equation of line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line.

If the product of the slopes of the line is -1 then they are said to be perpendicular.

Hence, the required procedure is in the equation of the given line, swap the coefficients of x and y, change the sign of either x or y, and replace the constant term with a new constant k. The relationship between the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of any point on the line is the equation of a line. The equation for a straight line with slope m is y=mx+b. If two line equations meet at right angles, they are perpendicular. If the product of two lines' slopes is -1, they are said to be perpendicular.
