  1. Honors Geometry Section 3.8Lines in the Coordinate Plane

  2. Objectives:1. Find the slope of the line through 2 points.2. Find the slope of a line parallel to a given line.3. Find the slope of a line perpendicular to a given line.4. Write the equation of a line.

  3. The slope of a line is a ratio that indicates how a line rises or falls from left to right.

  4. The slope of a nonvertical line that contains the points is equal to the ratio

  5. When graphing, it is helpful to think of slope as rise over run.

  6. What would the slope of a vertical line be? Why?

  7. Examples: Find the slope of the line through the given points.

  8. Two nonvertical lines are parallel ifftheir slopes are equal.Note: Vertical lines will be parallel.

  9. Two nonvertical lines are perpendicular ifftheir slopes are opposite reciprocals.Note: A horizontal line and a vertical line are perpendicular. change the sign flip the fraction

  10. There are two forms for an equation of a line with which you should be familiar.Slope-intercept form:Point-slope form:

  11. Example: Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the point (3, -5) with a slope of .

  12. Example: Write an equation, in slope-intercept form, for the line through the point (12, 5) that will be perpendicular to the line .

  13. Example: Write an equation, in slope-intercept form, for the line through the points (2, -5) and (4, 2).
