No.  For two lines to be perpendicular their slope must be the negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1

So if the slope of one line is negative, the line perpendicular to this must be positive by definition.

will give brainliest! if the slope of the line through the points (a,14) and (8,a) is 1/2, what is the value of a?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

a = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for calculating the slope of a line is expressed as;

m = ∆y/∆x

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Given

m = 1/2

x1 = a

y1 = 14

x2 = 8

y2 = a

Required.

Value of a

Substitute the given parameters into the formula

1/2 = a-14/8-a

Cross multiply

1(8-a) = 2(a-14)

8-a = 2a-28

Collect like terms

-a-2a = -28-8

-3a = -36

a = -36/-3

a = 12

Hence the value of a is 12
