Slope:
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28-6-0%29%2F%28-2-0%29=6%2F2=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel line would have identical slope.
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5Bpar%5D=3\"
\n" ); document.write( "Perpendicular line would have slope that is negative reciprocal.\
\n" ); document.write( "\"m%5Bperp%5D=-1%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
