Determine the Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Parallel lines have matching slopes. If
m_(1)and
m_(2)represent the slopes of two nonvertical parallel lines, then
m_(1)=m_(2). Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals. If
m_(1)and
m_(2)represent the slopes of two nonvertical perpendicular lines, then
m_(1)=-(1)/(m_(2)). The slope of a line is given. Determine the slope of a line parallel and perpendicular to the given line, if possible. 5.
m=-(3)/(8)
