Definition: Slope
The slope m of a line is m = tanθ
where θ is the inclination of the line with the positive x-axis.

Key Points: Concept of Slope
Nature of Slope
-
m > 0 → rising line
-
m < 0 → falling line
-
m = 0 → horizontal line
-
m = ∞→ vertical line
Parallel Lines
Two lines are parallel ⇔ , their slopes are equal, m1 = m2
Perpendicular Lines
Two lines are perpendicular ⇔
Collinearity of Three Points
Points A, B, and C are collinear
Method 1: Distance method
AB + BC = AC
Method 2: Slope method
Slope of AB = Slope of BC
