Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

1. Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Tuesday, January 18th

2. Modeling Mathematics Materials: Directions: Draw and cut out a scalene right triangle from the small square piece of graph paper Label the triangle ABC where < C is the right angle. Label the sides of the triangle as shown →

3. Modeling Mathematics Directions: Place triangle on coordinate plane where B lies on the origin and side a lies along the positive x-axis. Fill in the coordinates of B and slope of side c in the table under the TRIAL #1 column beside the Original Position rows Rotate their triangles 90° counterclockwise so that B is still at the origin and side a is along the positive y-axis. Write the new coordinates of B and slope of side c in the table under the TRIAL #1 column beside the 90° counterclockwise rotation rows. Now move the triangle down 2 units, to the right 3 units, and rotate the triangle 180° along point B. Write the new coordinates of B and slope of side c in the table under the TRIAL #1 column beside the 2 units down, 3 units right and 180° rotation rows.

4. Modeling Mathematics Repeat this process TWO MORE TIMES, selecting a different starting place each time--i.e. not do not place B on (0,0) Write your answers under the TRIAL #2 and TRIAL #3 columns, respectively. Place triangle on coordinate plane where B lies on the your selected location and side a lies along the positive x-axis. Fill in the coordinates of B and slope of side c in the table under the appropriate TRIAL column beside the Original Position rows Rotate their triangles 90° counterclockwise so that B is still at your selected location and side a is along the positive y-axis. Write the new coordinates of B and slope of side c in the table under the appropriate TRIAL column beside the 90° counterclockwise rotation rows. Now move the triangle down 2 units, to the right 3 units, and rotate the triangle 180° along point B. Write the new coordinates of B and slope of side c in the table under the appropriate TRIAL column beside the 2 units down, 3 units right and 180° rotation rows.

5. Definitions Parallel Lines Lines in the same plane that never intersect are called parallel. If two non-vertical lines have the same slope, then they are parallel. …and the converse is also true If two non-vertical lines are parallel, then they have the same slope. Perpendicular Lines • Lines that intersect at right angles are called perpendicular lines • If the product of the slopes of two lines is -1, then the lines are perpendicular. …and the converse is also true • If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of the slopes is -1.

6. What is the relationship (if any) between the two lines? Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 y = (1/4)x + 11 y = 5x – 8 2y – 3x =2y + 4x = -6 y = 5x + 1 y = -3x + 2

18. Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to each equation. Example 1 Example 2 x – 3y = 8 2x – 3y = 6 (5, -4) (-3, 2)

19. Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to each equation. Example 1 Example 2 2x – 9y = 5 y =(1/3)x + 2 (6, -13) (-3, 1)

20. Putting it all together… Lines p, q, and r all pass through point (-3, 4). Line p has slope 4 and is perpendicular to line q. Line r passes through Quadrants I and II only. (1) Write an equation for each line. (2) Graph the three lines on the same coordinate plane.
