1 P ARALLEL & P ERPENDICULAR L INES IN COORDINATE G EOMETRY What types of slopes do parallel lines have? What types of slopes do perpendicular lines have?

2 Parallel lines have the same slope. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocal.

3 A NSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS WITH YOUR GROUP MEMBERS What is the slope of a line parallel to y = 3x – 7? What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y = -2x + 6? What is the slope of a line parallel to y = 9? What is the slope or a line perpendicular to y = -x/5 + 11

4 Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y = -7x + 4 and passes through the point (-4, 6)

5 STEP ONE Identify the slope and point Slope is -7 Point is (-4, 6) If we have a point and a slope, what form of an equation do we need to use?

6 STEP TWO Plug into point – slope form y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) y – 6 = -7(x – -4)

7 STEP THREE Finish by putting equation into slope-intercept form y – 6 = -7(x – -4) y – 6 = -7(x + 4) y – 6 = -7x – 28 y = -7x – 22

8 Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3x – 9 and passes through the point (-1, 8)

9 STEP ONE Identify the slope and point Slope is Point is (-1, 8) If we have a point and a slope, what form of an equation do we need to use?

10 STEP TWO Plug into point – slope form y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) y – 8 = (x – -1) y – 8 = x –

11 STEP THREE Finish by putting equation into slope-intercept form y – 8 = (x – -1) y – 8 = (x + 1) y – 8 = x – y = x +

12 TRY ON YOUR OWN!!! Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = -2x – 9 and passes through the point (-4, 6) Find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line y = 3x + 5 and passes through the point (-9, 1)

13 TIME TO PROCESS WHAT YOU LEARNED THINK TO YOURSELF!!! Think of a three word statement that sums up something you learned from this lecture. DO NOT SAY IT OUT LOUD!!! We will go around the room and share in two minutes
