The TRUE statement:

"The lines intersect and are perpendicular." This is true because the slopes of the two lines are opposite-reciprocals of each other.

The FALSE statements:

"The lines intersect at the point ." The lines actually intersect at the point . Neither line touches the point , as their y-intercepts are given in their respective equations as and .

"The slopes of the two lines are identical." This is not true because the slope of Line 1 is  whereas the slope of Line 2 is .

"The lines do not intersect." The lines would need to be parallel (i.e., have the same slope) for this to be the case, but the lines do not have the same slope.

"The lines intersect only once because they are parallel." Parallel lines never intersect, so this statement cannot be made of any set of two lines.

For lines to be perpendicular, the slopes need to be negative reciprocals of each other.  For the line , the slope is 1.  For a line to be perpendicular to it, it will need to have a slope of .  Since the line  has a slope of -1, the lines are perpendicular to each other.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. If you convert the given line to the  form, you get 

which indicates a slope of . Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line must be , which is the negative reciprocal of . The only line with a slope of  is 

.

The line  is a vertical line.  Therefore, a perpendicular line is going to be horizontal and have a slope of zero.  

The equation  is such a line.  

The lines  and  are both vertical lines, while the lines  and  have slopes of  and , respectively.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another. Since all of these lines are in the format, it is easy to determine their slopes, or .

The slope of the original line is , so any line that is perpendicular to it must have a slope of .

The only line with a slope of is .

The only marker for whether lines are perpendicular is whether their slopes are the opposite-reciprocal for the other line's slope. The -intercept is not important. Therefore, the line perpendicular to  will have a slope of  or 

Lines can be written in the slope-intercept format:

In this format,  equals the line's slope and  represents where the line intercepts the y-axis.
