The answer is the product of their slope is -1.
First, let's break this down. Perpendicular lines are line with opposite reciprocal slopes. Opposite meaning the inverse sign and reciprocal meaning flipped.
For instance,
If a line had the slope of 5, its inverse would have a slope of -1/5.
Now, if we multiply these numbers together,
5 * -1/5 = -1
The 5's cancel out.
This works for any two perpendicular lines

I would need to see the variables to answer this questions.
3n = 45 n= 15 super simple ;)
Answer:
Triangle A: acute
Triangle B: acute
Triangle C: obtuse
Triangle D: right
Step-by-step explanation:
acute= less than 90 degrees each angle
obtuse=more than 90 degrees for one angle
right=equal exactly 90 degrees for one angle
6x²+x-12
the first thing we need to do is find 2 numbers that add up to equal the middle term (1) but multiply together to get a product of -72 (-12*6)
two numbers that would fit this is 9 and -8
so now we placed 9x and -8x in place of the middle term
6x²+9x-8x-12
now we look for whats common between the first two numbers and divide them out
6x²+9x = 3x(2x+3)
now we do the same with the last two numbers
-8x-12 = -4(2x+3)
notice how the numbers in brackets are the same (2x+3)
we will keep (2x+3) and then combine the numbers on the outside
once we do that you should get an answer of
(3x-4)(2x+3)
hope this helped!
