Characterize the slopes of parallel and perpendicular linesWhen you graph two or more linear equations in a coordinate plane, they generally cross at a point. However, when two lines in a coordinate plane never cross, they are called parallel lines. You will also look at the case where two ...

Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines: A Visual Justification.The article presents a lesson plan for secondary education which teaches students the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines.Wallace-GomezPatriciaMathematics Teacher
When we multiply a slope m by its perpendicular slope −1m we get simply −1.So to quickly check if two lines are perpendicular:When we multiply their slopes, we get −1Like this:Are these two lines perpendicular? Line Slope y = 2x + 1 2 y = −0.5x + 4 −0.5 When we ...
Slope Properties for Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Jill just learned about the relationship between slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines in math class, and Jill's teacher has asked her to prove these properties for homework. Jill is still confused by what she was taught and doesn't under...
This is the parallel line that they'd asked for, and it's in the slope-intercept form that they'd specified. For the perpendicular line, I have to find the perpendicular slope. The reference slope is m=23m=32. For the perpendicular slope, I'll flip the reference slope and change the...

The relationships between slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines can be used to write equations of parallel and perpendicular lines.Let’s start with an example involving parallel lines.Example Write the equation of a line that is parallel to the line x–y=5x–y=5 and goes through the ...
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Two lines are parallel if one can be translated, without rotation, to lie on top of the other. Two lines are perpendicular if they meet at a right angle (an angle of 90). Mathematically,..
