This math topic focuses on determining the slope that is perpendicular to a given slope, applying the concept that two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. The problems involve a range of slopes given in decimal form where students are asked to identify which among the provided options represents the slope perpendicular to the given decimal slope by converting it to its negative inverse. This covers finding perpendicular slopes for both positive and negative decimal values.
