2) Would there be a consequence if the lines were not perpendicular? *If there are non-perpendicular lines, then the lines will form obtuse
angles (greater than 90 degree angles) or acute angles (less than 90
degree angles). and in my picture, the baseball field would not be a
diamond, it would just be different angles.
2) How do you determine the slope of perpendicular lines? *You can determine the slope of perpendicular lines If you visualize
a line with positive slope (so it's an increasing line), then the
perpendicular line must have negative slope (because it will be
a decreasing line). So perpendicular slopes have opposite signs.
