Co-ordinate Geometry: Slope of a Line

What is the correct formula for the slope of a line?

• $Slope\ =\ \frac{y_{2\ }-\ y_1}{x_{2\ }-\ x_1}$

• $Slope\ =\ \frac{x_{2\ }-\ x_1}{y_{2\ }-\ y_1}$

• $Slope\ =\ \frac{x_{2\ }-\ y_2}{x_{1\ }-\ y_1}$

• $Slope\ =\ \frac{y_{2\ }+\ x_1}{x_{2\ }+\ y_1}$

If two lines are parallel then that means their slopes are...

• Equal

• Perpendicular

• Negative

• Positive

If two lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes equals...

• - 1

• 0

• $\frac{1}{2}$

• $-\frac{1}{2}$
