Answer:

true

Explanation:

The slopes of prependicular lines have to give as a result -1 when multiplied by eachother, so for example if you have a line with a slope of 2, the perpendicular line should have a slope of -1/2 because when multiplying for one another the result will be -1. So the statement would be true, the slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals.
