MYP Mathematics, gradient of a line, perpendicular & parallel lines

MYP Mathematics, gradient of a line, perpendicular & parallel lines

How can we find the slope of the line which is perpendicular to the line y=8x+2 ?

The answer is from www.ibmaths4u.com

If two lines are perpendicular their slopes are negative reciprocals and if two lines are parallel have equal slopes.


Regarding your question about the gradient of the line which is perpendicular to the line y=8x+2,
Let be the required slope then we have the following relation

2. The number of elements of a group is its order 

3. The order of an element g, which is denoted by , in a group G is the smallest positive integer n such that 

4. Cyclic group  and g is called a generator of 

5. The order of the generator is the same as the order of the group it generated.

6. Let G be a group, and let x be any element of G. Then,  is a subgroup of G.

7. Let  be a cyclic group of order n.

8. Every subgroup of a cyclic group is cyclic.

9. Every cyclic group is Abelian.

10. If G is isomorphic to H then G is Abelian if and only if H is Abelian.

11. If G is isomorphic to H then G is Cyclic if and only if H is Cyclic.

12. Lagrange’s Theorem: If G is a finite group and H is a subgroup of G, then the order of H divides G.
