Drafting Perpendicular Circuit Paths
A junior computer-aided design (CAD) technician is drafting a printed circuit board (PCB) layout. To minimize signal interference, two micro-routing tracks must intersect at a perfect 90-degree angle. The software defines the path of Track 1 with the linear equation and the path of Track 2 with the linear equation .
To complete the quality control documentation, the technician must write down the exact mathematical procedure to verify that these two tracks are perpendicular.
Explain the step-by-step process the technician should recall and document to perform this verification. Your explanation should:
- Explain how to identify or find the slope of each line from its given equation.
- Determine the numerical slope of both Track 1 and Track 2.
- State the algebraic relationship that must exist between the slopes of two perpendicular lines, and show the calculation that verifies Track 1 and Track 2 satisfy this condition.
