5. 5 Parallel & Perpendicular Lines Essential Question: How do you determine whether lines are parallel or perpendicular?
Parallel versus Perpendicular • Parallel lines: lines in the same plane that never intersect. • Perpendicular lines: lines that intersect at a 90⁰ angle.
Predicting with Evidence • Graph the following linear equations on the same coordinate plane: 1) y = 2/3 x + 4 2) y = 2/3 x – 3 What do you notice about the linear equations of parallel lines?
Parallel Lines • Parallel lines have the SAME SLOPE, but DIFFERENT INTERCEPTS
Example: Equation of Parallel Lines • To write the equation of parallel lines, 1) Find the SAME SLOPE of the lines 2) Write the equation in POINTSLOPE FORM. 3) Simplify to SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM.
Equation of Parallel Lines • To write the equation of parallel lines, 1) Find the SAME SLOPE of the lines 2) Write the equation in POINTSLOPE FORM. 3) Simplify to SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM.
Predicting with Evidence • Graph the following linear equations on the same coordinate plane: 1) y = 2/3 x + 1 2) y = -3/2 x – 2 What do you notice about the linear equations of perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular Lines • Perpendicular lines have slopes that are OPPOSITE RECIPROCALS. • This means: Flip the fraction, change the sign.
Example: Perpendicular Lines • To write the equation of perpendicular lines, 1) Find the OPPOSITE RECIPROCAL SLOPE 2) Write the equation in POINTSLOPE FORM. 3) Simplify to SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM.
Perpendicular Lines • To write the equation of perpendicular lines, 1) Find the OPPOSITE RECIPROCAL SLOPE 2) Write the equation in POINTSLOPE FORM. 3) Simplify to SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM.
Example: Identify Parallel Lines • To identify parallel lines, look for equations with the SAME SLOPE, but different intercepts.
Example: Identify Parallel Lines • To make it easier, write all equations in slope-intercept form to compare slopes.
Example: Identify Perpendicular Lines • To identify perpendicular lines, look for slopes that are OPPOSITE RECIPROCALS. • (flip the fraction, change the sign. )
Practice • To make it easier, write each equation in slope-intercept form.
