There are lines everywhere. ... Parallel and Perpendicular Lines For parallel and perpendicular lines, the slopes have to be in certain relation to each other. ... On the other hand for perpendicular lines the slopes have to be total opposites. If one line has a slope of two, then the slope of a line perpendicular to it would be the reciprocal and opposite of two. ...

The Electric Field Objective: The objective of this experiment is to evaluate and compare the lines of force associated with dipoles formed from point and line charges. ... Lines of constant voltage are everywhere perpendicular to Faraday's lines of force. As a result, voltage can be measured and used to determine lines of equal potential, which in turn can be used to construct the lines of force. ... Connect the X's to form lines of constant voltage. ... Notice how the lines of constant voltage curve around the two terminals on the plastic board. ...

For example, when we see four perpendicular separate lines that together form a square, our top-down perception allows us to recognize the formation and apply the label "square" to it. If we were to perceive the lines through our bottom- up processing, we would only see the lines as separate figures with no relation. ...
