Hello!

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

It means we take a number, flop it over and then make it negative.

So if we have 2, we flop it over:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Then, we make it negative:

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

That is the slope. Hope it helps

If you have any query, please ask me! :)
