Math 9 Lesson #13 – Slope, Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Mrs. Goodman
What is the slope of a line? • The slope of a line describes it’s steepness
Slope = Rise • Run
2 4 6 8 10 12 x 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 -12-10-8 -6 -4 -2 -10-8 -6-4-2 y
2 4 6 8 10 12 x 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 -12-10-8 -6 -4 -2 -10-8 -6-4-2 y
2 4 6 8 10 12 x 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 -12-10-8 -6 -4 -2 -10-8 -6-4-2 y
How do you find slope? • m = y2 – y1 • x2 – x1
Find the slope between (4, 3) and (5, 6) • m = 6 – 3 • 5 – 4 • m = 3 • 1 • m = 3 Rise Run
Find the slope between (-1, 6) and (4, 3) • m = 3 – 6 • 4 – (-1) • m = -3 • 4 + 1 • m = -3 • 5
You try some! • Find the slope between the following points: • (0, 4) and (-2, 6) • (-4, -7) and (0, 0) • (5, 8) and (5, -2) Pause the video here and try these!
Parallel Lines • Parallel Lines have the same slope
Perpendicular Lines • Perpendicular Lines have opposite reciprocal slopes • Ex. y = ¼ x + 1 • y = -4x + 1
That’s all for today! • Use your notes to help you practice. • See you next time!
