This math topic focuses on identifying the slopes that are perpendicular to given line equations. Students practice converting equations from standard form to slope-intercept form to determine the slope of the line. Subsequently, they identify the slope perpendicular to it, generally by finding the negative reciprocal. The problems involve equations presented in different orientations, requiring students to apply their skills in algebraic manipulation and understanding of perpendicular slopes effectively.
