3-5 Slopes of Lines
The slope of a line in a coordinate planeis a number that describes the steepness of the line. Any two points on a line can be used to determine the slope.

Example 1A: Finding the Slope of a Line
Use the slope formula to determine the slope of each line.
Substitute (–2, 7) for (x1, y1) and (3, 7) for (x2, y2) in the slope formula and then simplify.

The slope is undefined.
Example 1C: Finding the Slope of a Line
Use the slope formula to determine the slope of each line.
AD
Substitute (–2, 7) for (x1, y1) and (–2, 1) for (x2, y2) in the slope formula and then simplify.

If a line has a slope of , then the slope of a
perpendicular line is .
The ratios and are called opposite reciprocals.

Four given points do not alwaysdetermine two lines.
Graph the lines to make sure the points are not collinear.

Perpendicular, or Neither
Graph each pair of lines. Use their slopes to determine whether they are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.UV and XY for U(0, 2), V(–1, –1), X(3, 1), and Y(–3, 3)
The products of the slopes is –1, so the lines are perpendicular.

Example 3B: Determining Whether Lines Are Parallel, Perpendicular, or Neither
Graph each pair of lines. Use their slopes to determine whether they are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
GH and IJ for G(–3, –2), H(1, 2), I(–2, 4), and J(2, –4)
The slopes are not the same, so the lines are not parallel. The product of the slopes is not –1, so the lines are not perpendicular.

Example 3C: Determining Whether Lines Are Parallel, Perpendicular, or Neither
Graph each pair of lines. Use their slopes to determine whether they are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
CD and EF for C(–1, –3), D(1, 1), E(–1, 1), and F(0, 3)
The lines have the same slope, so they are parallel.
