Question

When constructing a perpendicular line through a point on a line, how can you verify that the lines constructed are perpendicular?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

m1 and m2 ----> the slopes of the lines constructed

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

therefore

To verify if the lines constructed are perpendicular

Multiply their slopes

if m1*m2=-1 ------> the lines are perpendicular
