  1. Section 3-6 Slope of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines SPI 22A: determine the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given • Objectives: • Relate slope to parallel and perpendicular lines Recall Vocabulary Parallel lines: coplanar lines that do not intersect Perpendicular lines: lines that intersect and form a right angle

  2. Slopes of Parallel Lines (Definition) If two non-vertical lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal. If the slopes of two distinct non-vertical lines are equal, then the lines are parallel. Any 2 vertical lines are parallel.

  3. Checking for Parallel Lines Slope of Line 1: Slope of Line 2:

  4. Slopes of Parallel Lines Line a contains A(-4, 2) and B(3, 1). Line b contains C(-4, 0) and D(8, -2). Are lines a and b parallel? Explain. NOPE The slope of a = -1/7 and the slope of b = -1/6.

  5. Given two Equations, Determine if the lines are Parallel Are the lines 4y – 12x = 20 and y = 3x – 1 parallel? Explain. What is the slope of 4y – 12x = 20? What is the slope of y = 3x – 1? 1. Change equation to slope-intercept form. The slope is 3. By Definition: The lines have the same slope. They are 2 distinct lines, since they have different y intercepts. Therefore, they are parallel. 4y – 12x = 20 Given + 12x + 12x APE 4y = 12x + 20 DPE 4 4 4 y = 3x + 5 2. The slope is 3.

  6. Writing Equations of Parallel Lines Write an equation for the line parallel to y = - 4x + 3 that contains (1, -2). - 4 What is the slope of the equation y = - 4x + 3? What will be the slope of the equation containing coordinate (1, -2)? - 4 Which form of an equation will you use to write an equation given the slope and one point? Point-slope form

  7. Slopes of Perpendicular Lines (Definition) If two non-vertical lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1. If the slopes of two lines have a product of -1, the lines are perpendicular. Any horizontal line and vertical line are perpendicular.

  8. Checking for Perpendicular Lines 1. If one line is vertical and the other horizontal, then they are perpendicular. 2. If the product of the slopes are -1, then they are .

  9. Practice: Check for Perpendicular lines Nope

  10. Writing Equations for Perpendicular lines Write an equation for the line perpendicular to y = - 3x – 5, that contains (- 3, 7). 1. Write what you know, given the first equation. y = - 3x – 5; Slope is -3. 2. Find the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line. Think> What is the relationship between the 2 slopes? The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of the other line. Slope is 1/3. 3. Use point-slope form to write an equation.
