Formula for Slope, m, for line through points (h,k) and (u,v): .

Calculate the slope for each pair of points.
If they are equal, then lines are parallel;
if they are negative reciprocals, then lines are perpendicular.
If slopes not equal and not negative reciprocals, then lines are at angles other than 90 degrees and other than 0 degrees to each other.
