The slope of a line is a number representing the steepness of the line relative to the x-axis. Let (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) be any two points on a line. The difference in y values gives the rise and the difference in x values gives the run. The slope is the ratio of the rise to the run.
(x2,y2)
(x1,y1)
y2 – y1
x2 – x1

Slopes of Parallel Lines
Two non vertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope.

Some Important facts about the slope of a line.
Horizontal lines have a slope of 0 because y2 – y1 = 0 for all y.
( 5,4) ( 9,4)
y2 – y1 = 0 slope = 0

Vertical Lines
Vertical lines have a slope of 0 because x2 – x1 = 0 for all x.
(2, 5)
(2, 1)
x2 – x1 = 0 No slope
It should be apparent that no slope is quite different from having Zero slope.

Example 1
• What are the slope and y-intercept of 7x + 13y = 26
7 + 13 y = 26 13 y = -7x + 26
13 7 + 26 = 13 13
7 y = + 213

Slopes of Perpendicular Lines
Two lines are perpendicular if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. That is if the slopes are m1 and m2 then m1 = - 1 or m1 • m2 = -1 m2
