This math topic centers around calculating the slopes that are perpendicular to a given slope. Each problem presents a particular slope and asks the learner to identify the slope that would be perpendicular to it. The problems hone skills in finding the negative reciprocal of the given slope and converting a fraction into an integer form when necessary. The focus is on understanding and applying the concept that two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.
