What Is An Example Of Slopes Of Parallel And Perpendicular Lines?
Parallel lines have the same slope. Example y = 2x + 3 y = 2x + 4 is parallel to the line above. Both lines have a slope of 2. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another. Example y = -1/2x + 3 will be perpendicular to the two lines above. The negative reciprocal of 2 is -1/2.
