In mathematics, the slope of a line perpendicular to the initial one is determined as the negative reciprocal of the slope of that original line. Let's denote the first slope as 'm'. Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line will be '-1/m'. In case the original slope is given as a fraction, the perpendicular slope can be found by flipping the fraction and altering its sign.
