If the graphs of two linear functions are perpendicular, describe the relationship between the slopes and the y-intercepts.
A. The slopes are equal.
B. The slopes are negative reciprocals of one another.
C. The slopes are reciprocals of one another.
D. The slopes are inverses of one another.
E. There is no relationship.
y-intercepts:
A. The y-intercepts are equal.
B. The y-intercepts are not equal.
C. There is no relationship.
The relationship between slopes of two perpendicular lines is B, The slopes are negative reciprocals of one another. The y-intercepts have C, no relationship. To help with this, you can imagine perpendicular lines on a graph.
