27. What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the y-axis?
Determine whether each statement is always, sometimes, or never true. Explain. 0
13. Two lines with different slopes are perpendicular.
28. On a map, Sandusky St. passes through coordinates (2, 21) and (4, 8).
sometimes; when the different slopes are negative inverses they are perpendicular
Pennsylvania Ave. intersects Sandusky St. and passes through coordinates
14. The slopes of vertical lines and horizontal lines are negative reciprocals. (1, 3) and (6, 2). Are these streets perpendicular? Explain.
never; although vertical and horizontal lines are always perpendicular, the slopes
are undefined and 0, which are not negative reciprocals. Sandusky Street has slope 92 ; Pennsylvania Ave. has slope 2 15 ; The slopes are not
15. A vertical line is perpendicular to the x-axis. negative inverses, so the streets are not perpendicular.
always; vertical lines are perpendicular to all horizontal lines, including the x-axis.
29. Writing Explain how you can determine if the graphs of two lines are parallel
or perpendicular without graphing the lines.
Find the slopes. If they are equal, the lines are parallel. If they are negative inverses,
the graphs are perpendicular.
