The correct answer is:

**D. Their slopes are negative reciprocals.**

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. This means that if the slope of one line is \( m \), the slope of the other line will be \( -\frac{1}{m} \), which makes them negative reciprocals of each other.
