If AB is parallel to CD and the slope of CD is one over two what is the slope of AB?

The slope of line AB will be 1/2. Two parallel lines will always have the same slope, so if you know the slope of one line that is parallel to another, you know the other line's slope.


If one of two parallel lines is perpendicular to another line is the other of the two lines parallel to the third line?

since one parallel lines is perpendicular to another line, the other parallel line is perpendicular to the line as well. so the two would not be parallel, only the original two.


If two lines are parallel what do you know about their slopes?

If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.(And if they are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is minus one - unless one line is horizontal and the other vertical.)


What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?

The slope of a line perpendicular to one with a slope of m is -1/m.


What is the difference between slopes of parallel lines and slopes of perpendicular lines?

Slopes of parallel lines have the same slope (they are changing at the same rate).Slopes of perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative inverse of each other, that is, their product is -1. (The slope of a vertical line is therefore undetermined, not infinity. There is no slope s that times 0 equals -1.)---Let m1 be the slope of line one and m2 be the slope of line two. Then:If the lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal, so m1 - m2 = 0.If the lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are negative inverses of each other, so= m1 - (-1/m1)= m1 + 1/m1= (m12 + 1)/m1

If two lines are parallel and one has a slope of -7 what is the slope of the other line?

If they are parallel then the slope of the other line is also 7


If AB is parallel to CD and the slope of CD is one over two what is the slope of AB?

The slope of line AB will be 1/2. Two parallel lines will always have the same slope, so if you know the slope of one line that is parallel to another, you know the other line's slope.


If line one is parrelel to line two and line one has a slope of negitave one sixth what is the slope of line two?

If two lines are parallel, then they will both have the same slope.


What is the slope of a line parallel to this one 4x-2y-3?

If you mean: 4x-2y = -3 then the slope of the line parallel to it will also have a slope of 2 but with a different y intercept


Find the slope of a parellel to the graph of y equals 4x plus 2?

The graph of [ y = 4x + 2 ] is a straight line with a slope of 4.Any line with a slope of 4 is parallel to that one, and any line parallel to that one has a slope of 4.


What would the slope be of a line parallel to one with a slope of negative two over three?

The slope of any parallel lines is always the same. Parallel means they are co-planar which means lie in the same plane, and never intersect. In order for the lines to not intersect you would need the same slope. In this case the answer is -2/3.


What is the slope of a line parallel to this one 4x-2y -3?

If you mean: 4x-2y = -3 then in its slope-intercept form it is y = 2x+1.5 and the slope of the line parallel to it will also be 2 but with a different y intercept


Can you write the equation of a line with one point on the line?

No, you need either two points, one point and a slope, one point and a y-intercept, or a y-intercept an a slope. You can also write the equation of a line with an equation of another line but you would have to know if it is parallel or perpendicular.


Suppose the slope of AB is zero what is the slope of CD given that a. CD is parallel to AB b. CD is perpendicular to AB?

Any line that is parallel to another line will have the same slope. So if line AB's slope is zero and line CD is parallel to AB, then its slope will also be zero. The slope of line CD, when perpendicular to AB, will be infinity. If line AB has a slope of zero that means its just a horizontal line passing some point on the y-axis. A line that is perpendicualr to this one will pass through some point on the x-axis and therefore have an infinite slope.


What is the slope of x equals 1?

The graph of [ x = 1 ] is a straight vertical line, parallel to the y-axis and one unit to the right of it. According to all the normal processes of naming the slope of a line on a graph, you would say that the slope of this line is "infinity", but the official way to say it is that the slope is "undefined".


What is the slope of a line parallel to the line 2x plus 4y equals 8?

Minus one half, (-1/2).
