@edgarr what the complicated notation is basically saying is that in order for a rectangle to be possible, you must have 4 right angles aka 4 ninety degree angles to prove two lines cross at a 90 degree angle, you multiply the two slopes. If you get -1 as a result, then the two lines are perpendicular. Meaning they form a 90 degree angle ------------------- also, if you can show 2 slopes are equal to one another, then the two lines are parallel
