This math topic focuses on determining the equations of lines that are perpendicular to given lines. It includes identifying the perpendicular slopes from multiple choices by considering the negative reciprocal relationships between slopes of perpendicular lines. Each problem presents a line equation and asks students to choose the equation of a line that would be perpendicular to it from the provided options. The overarching lesson is part of a broader unit on slopes and perpendiculars.
