Gradient of the line
A point on the line
m=y2โy1x2โx1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}m=x2โโx1โy2โโy1โโ
m1=m2m_1 = m_2m1โ=m2โ
m1รm2=โ1m_1 \times m_2 = -1m1โรm2โ=โ1
Negative reciprocal: m2=โ1m1m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}m2โ=โm1โ1โ
y=mx+cy = mx + cy=mx+c
Same as original line's gradient
Negative reciprocal of original gradient
