Slope products (Posted on 2011-11-08) Difficulty: 1 of 5
It is a well known result from algebra that if two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is always -1.*

Give a very simple proof that if the lines form any angle besides 90o the product of the slopes cannot be a constant.

*Assuming neither line is vertical.
