Formula for slope
Facts about slope
Horizontal lines have slopes of zero. Vertical lines have undefined slopes. Non-vertical parallel lines have equal slopes. Non-vertical perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1. = + = 2 + + = ( )

Angle sums
The sum of any number of angles that form a straight line is 180. The sum of any number of angles around a point is 360. Two angles that add to 90 are called complementary angles. Two angles that add to 180 are called supplementary angles. 180( 2)
