Question

If the graphs of two linear functions are perpendicular, describe the relationship between the slopes and the y-intercepts.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) The slopes are negative reciprocals of one another.

Part 2) There is no relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

we know that

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

$m_1*m_2=-1$

Part 2)

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

Two linear functions that are perpendicular, could have the same y-intercept (the y-intercept would be the point of intersection between both lines)

so

There is no relationship
