What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the y-coordinate with respect to the x-coordinate. It indicates how steep the line is.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. This means their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

Front

How do you determine if a line is parallel to another?

Back

To determine if a line is parallel to another, compare their slopes. If the slopes are equal, the lines are parallel.
