The image shows quadrilateral
Apply the transformation rule

Let’s prove our conjecture about slopes of perpendicular lines for the case in which the lines pass through the origin.
The diagram shows triangle
Since the rotation was through 90 degrees, all line segments in the image are perpendicular to the corresponding segments in the original triangle. For example, segment
Look at segments
We can use this fact to help write equations of lines. For example, try writing the equation of a line that passes through the point
Two numbers that multiply to equal 1 are reciprocals.
