In geometric terms, a line can have only one slope. if there is more than one slope, it is not a line, it is multiple lines or a second (or higher) order graphical representation of a function in two dimensional space.
can a line have two slopes
Two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals if the product of their slopes equals -1. For example, if one line has a slope of 2, the negative reciprocal would be -1/2. This means that if one line rises 2 units for every 1 unit it runs, the other line falls 1 unit for every 2 units it runs, creating perpendicular lines.
a verticla line
A straight line cannot have two slopes. A curve, however, might have a different slope at every different point.
one is the negative reciprocal of the other; that is if the slope of one line is 2, the other is -1/2

A line that slopes to the right and up has a positive slope.
a verticla line
-2. Slopes of parallel lines are the same. If the lines are different it is the intercedpt that is different.
They are the negative reciprocal of each other. Fo rexample, if a line has slope = +2, then the line perpendicular to it has slope -1/2
Slopes of line perpendicular to the x-axis are undefined.
Slopes of perpendicular lines will be opposite reciprocals. This means that the slopes have opposite signs and that one is 1/ the other. For example, 2 and -1/2.
Yes it can, but it would not then be a straight line but an angle.

They are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.
