If two lines are parallel, then they will both have the same slope.
A line does not have an inverse!
If the line is a straight line, meaning 180degrees, it can only have one slope. If it is a function (f(x)= or y=) then the line may have more than one, one, or an undefined slope. Find the first differential of the function and plug in your given x value to find the slope at any given point.
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.
If you are asking for slope, the slope of one line is m, the slope of the other is -1/m. For example, if the slope for one line is 5, the slope of the other line is -1/5 = -0.2 . (Math Open Reference)
The slope of a line can be determined by examining the graph; only one line through a point has a particular slope.
The slope of two lines are perpendicular only if their slopes multiplied together equal -1 (m1*m2 = -1). So if a line has a slope of -3 then a line perpendicular to this one has a slope of -1/-3 or 1/3.
One line can have only one slope. It is possible to draw more than one line on a single graph, however.
On one of my projects for my algebra class...my professor is asking us to find the slope of a line which is fairly easy.....but i only have one point and it's impossible to find a slope with only one point....what am i doing wrong?

The slope of a line perpendicular to one with a slope of m is -1/m.
The same. Parallel lines have the same slope.
If two lines are parallel and one has a slope of 1.3, what is the slope of the other line?
Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
The slope of a line and the perpendicular to that line, when multiplied together, give -1. So, if the first line has a slope of 1/21, the second has a slope of -21.
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.
this is false Apex!
When you graph a line using only the slope and a point, you start by graphing the point.
