Slope

The slope formula is used to show (select all that apply)

• two lengths are congruent

• segments are parallel

• segments are bisected

• segments are perpendicular

When two segments are parallel that means....

• they intersect at the same point

• their slopes are equal

• their slopes are opposite reciprocals

• their segments are equal

When you want to show two segments are perpendicular

• their slopes will be the same

• their segments are equal

• their segments are opposite

• their slopes will be opposite reciprocals

 $What\ is\ the\ opposite\ reciprocal\ to\ \frac{3}{4}$  

•  $\frac{4}{3}$  

•  $\frac{-3}{4}$  

•  $\frac{-4}{3}$  

•  $\frac{-4}{-3}$

If the slope of one segment is m=1, and the end points of another segment are (2,0) and (-3,1). Are these two segments parallel, perpendicular or neither? (Hint: find the slope of the second segment)

• Parallel

• Perpendicular

• Neither
