If two lines are perpendicular to each other, their slopes

are negative inverses of each other.

Thus,

`\boldsymbol{\sf{Slope\:of\:this\:line=4}}}`

`\boldsymbol{\sf{Negative \ Inverse=-\displaystyle(1)/(4)}}`. See how this works?

We took 4, then took its opposite, and flopped that over

Definition-:

Perpendicular lines are lines that intercept each other at a 90 deg. angle, which is usually called the right angle.
