What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope indicates the steepness and direction of the line. A positive slope means the line rises, while a negative slope means it falls.

Front

How do you determine if two lines are parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1, meaning one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other.
