2. INCLINATION AND SLOPE OF A LINE
The inclination of the line, L, (not
parallel to the x-axis) is defined as the
smallest positive angle measured from the
positive direction of the x-axis or the
counterclockwise direction to L.
The slope of the line is defined as
the tangent of the angle of inclination.

5. PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR LINES
If two lines are parallel their slope
are equal. If two lines are perpendicular
the slope of one of the line is the negative
reciprocal of the slope of the other line.
If m1 is the slope of L1 and m2 is the
slope of L2 then, or m1m2 = -1.
9. 4. Show that the triangle whose vertices are
A(8, -4), B(5, -1) and C(-2,-8) is a right triangle.
5. Show that the points A(-2, 6), B(5, 3), C(-1, -11)
and D(-8, -8) are the vertices of a parallelogram. Is
the parallelogram a rectangle?
6. Find y if the slope of the line segment joining
(3, -2) to (4, y) is -3.
7. Show that the points A(-3, 0), B(-1, -1) and
C(5, -4) lie on a straight line.
