The slopes of perpendicular lines have a product of -1. So can write:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5Bperpendicular%5D=-1%2Fm=-2%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have the same slope:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5Bparallel%5D=m=5%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
