  3. Objectives Find the slope of a line. Use slopes to identify parallel and perpendicular lines.

  4. The slopeof a line in a coordinate plane is a number that describes the steepness of the line. Any two points on a line can be used to determine the slope.

  5. AB 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.

  6. Use the slope formula to determine the slope of JK through J(3, 1) and K(2, –1). Check It Out! Example 1 Substitute (3, 1) for (x1, y1) and (2, –1) for (x2, y2) in the slope formula and then simplify.

  7. One interpretation of slope is a rate of change. If y represents miles traveled and x represents time in hours, the slope gives the rate of change in miles per hour.

  8. Example 2: Transportation Application Justin is driving from home to his college dormitory. At 4:00 p.m., he is 260 miles from home. At 7:00 p.m., he is 455 miles from home. Graph the line that represents Justin’s distance from home at a given time. Find and interpret the slope of the line. Use the points (4, 260) and (7, 455) to graph the line and find the slope.

  9. Example 2 Continued The slope is 65, which means Justin is traveling at an average of 65 miles per hour.

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

  11. UV and XY for U(0, 2), V(–1, –1), X(3, 1), and Y(–3, 3) Example 3A: 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. The products of the slopes is –1, so the lines are perpendicular.

  12. CD and EF for C(–1, –3), D(1, 1), E(–1, 1), and F(0, 3) 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. The lines have the same slope, so they are parallel.
