Understanding Perpendicular Lines
In geometry, two lines are perpendicular if they intersect at a right angle (90 degrees). This tool helps you determine if two lines, given in the standard form ax + by = c, are perpendicular to each other.
How to Use This Tool:
- Enter the coefficients a, b, and the constant c for both Line 1 and Line 2.
- Click the "Check Perpendicularity" button.
- The tool will display whether the lines are perpendicular and visualize them on a graph.
- Use the "Copy Result" button to copy the perpendicularity result.
- Click "Reset" to clear the inputs and results.
The condition for two lines to be perpendicular is that the product of their slopes (\(m_1\) and \(m_2\)) is -1, i.e., \(m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1\). For lines in the form ax + by = c, the slope \(m = -a/b\).
This tool simplifies the process of checking perpendicularity and provides a visual representation for better understanding.
