Parallel and Perpendicular lines

Two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient. Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their gradients is -1. In other words, if their gradients are negative reciprocals of one another: In the next applet, lines r (pink) and s (sky blue) are graphed together. Modify their gradients and y-intercepts to check if the statements above are true.
