Would perpendicular lines have negative or positive slopes?
I believe they have Negative Slopes as stated by my Geometry Book. "Perpendicular Lines Have Slopes Which Are Negative ___"
How do you calculate parallel and perpendicular lines in a given plane?
Take any two lines and look at their slopes. -- If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. -- If the product of the slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.
How do you use slope to determine if two lines are perpendicular?
You have to know the slopes of both lines. -- Take the two slopes. -- The lines are perpendicular if (one slope) = -1/(the other slope), or the product of the slopes equals to -1.
Is the measure of the angle formed by two intersecting perpendicular lines is 90 degrees?
Yes, this can be considered the definition of perpendicular lines (or alternately, the definition of angular measurement). Perpendicular lines are lines that form an angle of 90 degrees.Yes, this can be considered the definition of perpendicular lines (or alternately, the definition of angular measurement).

How do parallel and perpendicular slopes compare or their y intercept?
There is no relationship between the slopes of parallel or perpendicular lines and their y-intercepts.
