No, parallel lines have exactly same slope

Perpendicular line have a slope that is negative reciprocal of each other

that is if m = slope of line then slope of perpendicular line is -1/m

If two lines are perpendicular do the have the same slope?

No but if the two lines are parallel then they will have the same slope.


Does perpendicular lines have the same slope?

No, lines have the same slope if and only if they are parallel to each other.


Are two lines with the same slope and different y-intecept perpendicular?

Two lines with the same slope are parallel.


Do Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes?

Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.


Do parallel lines have negative reciprocals?

The slope of parallel lines are the same, but the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.


Two lines with the same slope and different y-intercepts are perpendicular?

No because two lines with the same slope but with different y intercepts are parallel lines. Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles.


How is it determined whether the lines passing through some specified points are parallel perpendicular or neither?

The straight line equation is y = mx + b. If they do not cross and have the same slope they are parallel; if they cross and the slope (m) of one of them is the negative inverse slope of the other (-1/m) they are perpendicular. Otherwise they are neither


How can we tell if two lines are parallel perpendicular or neither just from their equations?

If the slope of the equations are the same then they are parallel If the slope of the equations are minus reciprocal then they are perpendicular If the slope of the equations are different then they are neither


How do you determine if 2 lines are parallel perpendicular or neither?

Two lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. If neither of these conditions are met, the lines are nether parallel, or perpendicular.


Are two lines with the same slope and different y-intercept perpendiculars?

No because two lines with the same slope but with different y intercepts are parallel lines. Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles.


What do you call two lines side by side with the exact same slope?

Parallel lines


How do you determine if they are parallel perpendicular or neither?

That depends on the specific situation. You may want to measure angles (perpendicular lines are at a right angle, i.e., 90°). If you have equations for line, write them in the slope-intercept form. Parallel lines have the same slope. If lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1.
