Hey there :)
To find the slope with <em>two points</em> we will need to use the equation
( 3 , -20 ) ( 5 , 8 )
Here is what the equation should look like when replaced with the numbers (<em>it will be a fraction</em>) :
We know that <em>two negatives</em> cancel out and make a positive, so the numerator would actually be 8 + 20.
Solve the fraction and we get
28 <em>divided</em> by 2 is 14. The slope is 14.
- Slope Formula:
So remember that <u>perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other</u> and <u>parallel lines have the same slope.</u> To find out if they are either parallel or perpendicular, plug the pair of points into the slope formula to find their slopes:
Since these slopes aren't the same nor are they negative reciprocals to each other, <u>the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.</u>
