Determine the missing information in the paragraph proof. Given: Line PQ is rotated 90° counterclockwise to form line P’Q’. The lines are perpendicular. Line PQ contains the points (a, b) and (c, d). Line P’Q’ contains the points (–b, a) and (–d, c).

Prove: The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.

On a coordinate plane, 2 perpendicular lines are shown. Line P Q has points (a, b) and (c, d). Line P prime Q prime has points (negative b, a) and (negative d, c).

The slopes of lines PQ and P’Q’ can be determined using the formula m = StartFraction v 2 minus v 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction

The product of these slopes is . This product shows that the slopes are negative reciprocals. It is given that the lines are perpendicular and we have shown that the slopes of the lines are negative reciprocals.
