Points: (-10, -4) and (-1, 2) Slope: 2/3
The slope is -1 - 4 / -2 - 2 = -5/ -4 = 5/4
Points: (0, -1) and (-2, -4)Slope: 3/2
Points: (-1, 2) and (4, 3) Slope: 1/5
Points: (3, 2) and (-1, -4) Slope: (2--4)/(3--1) = 3/2 or 1.5
Points: (3, -4) and (-2, 1) Slope: -1 or -x
Points: (-3, 4) and (1, -2) Slope: (4--2)/(-3-1) = -3/2 or -1.5
Points: (2, 1) and (-4, -5) Slope: (1--5)/(2--4) = 1
Points: (1, 7) and (-3, 2) Slope: 5/4 or 1.25
Coordinate: (1, 2) Slope: 4 Equation: y = 4x-2
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
