Example 2
Use Slope as Rate of Change
RECREATION In 2000, the annual sales for one manufacturer of camping equipment was $48.9 million. In 2005, the annual sales were $85.9 million. If sales increase at the same rate, what will be the total sales in 2015?

Determine Line Relationships
Determine whether and are parallel, perpendicular, or neither for F(1, –3), G(–2, –1), H(5, 0), and J(6, 3).
Example 3
A. parallel
B. perpendicular
C. neither
Determine whether AB and CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither for A(–2, –1), B(4, 5), C(6, 1), and D(9, –2)
Example 4
Use Slope to Graph a Line
First, find the slope of .
Slope formula
Graph the line that contains Q(5, 1) and is parallel to MN with M(–2, 4) and N(2, 1).
Graph the line that contains R(2, –1) and is parallelto OP with O(1, 6) and P(–3, 1).
