Parallel & Perpendicular Lines

Parallel Lines – have the SAME slope

Perpendicular Lines – have RECIPROCAL and OPPOSITE sign slopes

Parallel & Perpendicular Lines

Parallel Lines – have the SAME slope

Perpendicular Lines – have RECIPROCAL and OPPOSITE sign slopes

EXAMPLE : Find the slope of the line parallel to y = 3x - 4

Parallel & Perpendicular Lines

Parallel Lines – have the SAME slope

Perpendicular Lines – have RECIPROCAL and OPPOSITE sign slopes

EXAMPLE : Find the slope of the line parallel to y = 3x – 4

The slope of the current line is m = 3

Parallel lines have the same slope so m = 3

Parallel & Perpendicular Lines

Parallel Lines – have the SAME slope

Perpendicular Lines – have RECIPROCAL and OPPOSITE sign slopes

EXAMPLE : Find the slope of the line parallel to 2y + 5x = 8
