Parallel and Perpendicular Equations. Definitions. Parallel Lines- have the same slope . Since they rise and run at the same levels. Cross the y-axis at different points though. Perpendicular Lines- cross at 90 ° They make an exact corner.

Definitions • Parallel Lines- have the same slope. • Since they rise and run at the same levels. • Cross the y-axis at different points though. • Perpendicular Lines- cross at 90° • They make an exact corner. • You have to “flip-op” the slope of a perpendicular line to get the new equation.
Steps… Parallel Perpendicular “flip-op” the slope in the equation given. Using the point-slope form, plug in the “flip-op” slope and the ordered pair to find the equation. • Copy the slope of the equation given. • Using the point-slope form, plug in the ordered pair and the slope to find the equation.
