Minds in Action
• Sasha and Derman are trying to write a formula for finding the distance between two points given by and .• Sasha: Well, the distance between two points on a vertical or
horizontal line is easy to find. Just subtract the unlike coordinates. If is and is , then the distance between and is .• Derman: But we don’t know that and are on a horizontal or vertical
line. They’re just any two points. We used the Pythagorean Theorem to help us find the distance between two points that weren’t on the same horizontal or vertical line before. Let’s try that here.
Minds in Action
• Sasha: Don’t we need three points to make a triangle so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem?• Derman: Watch! I’ll make a third point.
• Derman: Before you ask, I know that the third point is . In my picture I had to go over as far as the point – that’s where I got the ; and up as far as the point – that’s where I got the

• Sasha: Great! Now let’s use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse of that triangle
So,

Warm-Up: April 14, 2015Create six different graphs according to the following directions:1. Plot several points with -coordinates that have the given property. For
each property, draw a picture that shows all the points with that property.a. 1 more than the -coordinateb. 2 more than the -coordinatec. 1 less than the -coordinate
2. Plot several points with -coordinates that have the given property. For each property, draw a picture that shows all the points with that property.a. Twice the -coordinateb. Three times the -coordinatec. Four times the -coordinate

Theorem 8.4
• Two nonvertical lines are parallel iff they have the same slope.
• The proof of Theorem 8.4 depends on Postulate 8.2:• Points , , and are collinear iff the slope between and is the same as
the slope between and ., , and are collinear
Warm-Up: April 15, 2015
1. Find and .2. What is the slope of ?3. What is the slope of ?4. What is the product of
the two slopes you found in #2 and #3?
Perpendicular Lines
• Theorem 8.5: Two nonvertical lines are perpendicular iff the product of their slopes is .
• Any horizontal line is perpendicular to any vertical line.
Minds in Action
• Tony wonders whether he has just seen a special case.• Tony: Hey Sasha, suppose the lines don’t intersect at the origin. Is
Theorem 8.5 still true?• Sasha: Well, Theorem 8.5 doesn’t say anything about the lines having
to intersect at the origin. But I agree that we have proved one direction of the theorem only for lines like that. Let’s try to prove it for lines that could intersect anywhere.• Tony: Let’s try to avoid a lot of work. Why don’t we just try
translating?
Minds in Action
• Sasha: That should work. The proof we came up with in the warm-up didn’t really use the fact that the lines were through the origin. Look at this diagram:
Minds in Action• Tony: Wow, that’s true! Everything is the same as before:
and
Knowing that and are perpendicular and that and are right angles, we know that and are similar, So
This means that
Minds in Action
• Sasha: Good, Tony! You really got it! So what are the slopes of and ?• Tony: That’s easy! The slope of is , just as before. The slope of is .
Therefore, the product of the slopes is
