Slopes…… • Parallel Lines: The slopes areEQUAL for parallel lines. • Perpendicular Lines: The slopes are opposite reciprocals for perpendicular lines.
Example……If • PARALLEL: • PERPENDICULAR:
You Try....... • If find the parallel and perpendicular slopes. • Parallel: • Perpendicular:
You Try…… • If find the parallel and perpendicular slopes.
Answer……Remember • Parallel: • Perpendicular:
Example…… • A. What is the slope of ? • B. What is the parallel slope? • C. What is the perpendicular slope? • A. • B. • C.
Example…… • Graph the line parallel to through (8,2).
Example……. • Graph the line perpendicular to through (3,2)
Are the following lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?.......... • Answer: • They have the same slope so they are parallel.
Parallel, Perpendicular, or Neither? • The slopes are not the same so they are NOT parallel. • The slopes are not opposite reciprocals so they are NOT perpendicular. • They are neither.
Parallel, Perpendicular, or Neither?...... • You must first change both into slope-intercept form. • Now, you can compare their slopes.
They are not the same so they are NOT parallel. • They are not opposite reciprocals so they are NOT perpendicular. • They are neither.
Parallel, Perpendicular, or Neither?..... • Change to slope-intercept form first. • Compare their slopes.
The slopes are opposite reciprocals so they are perpendicular.
