PARALLEL AND

PERPENDICULAR LINES

Clear Target: I will differentiate

between slopes of parallel
lines, perpendicular lines, and
lines that are neither when
given the equation of each line,
either in point-slope or pointintercept form.

REVIEW
What are the definitions of parallel and
perpendicular lines?
Parallel Lines are lines that will never touch
Perpendicular lines intersect to form 90 angles

What do we know about their slopes?

Parallel lines have the same slope
Perpendicular lines have opposite, reciprocal slopes.
