\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{4}{5}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{5}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{5}{4}\implies \cfrac{5}{4}}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-0}{2-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{5}{2+2}\implies \cfrac{5}{4} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{9-(-1)}{10-2}\implies \cfrac{9+1}{8}\implies \cfrac{10}{8}\implies \cfrac{5}{4}
