Geom_Week 5_Lesson 3: Equations of Lines

Unit 3 - Equations of Parallel and

Perpendicular Lines

After doing this lesson, you should be able to:

• Use a formula to determine the slope of a line,

• Determine if 2 lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither from their equations,

• Graph a line parallel to a given line through a point,

• Graph a line perpendicular to a given line through a point,

• Write an equation that is either parallel or perpendicular to a given line going through a given point.

Remember to go as slowly and repeat as many times as you need until you understand the lesson.

Vocabulary

Transversal: a line that intersects 2 (or more) other lines

Parallel lines: 2 or more coplanar lines with the same slope (meaning they never intersect),

Perpendicular lines: 2 coplanar lines with the slopes that are opposite

reciprocals of each other (meaning they intersect at a right
angle)

Right Angle: an angle formed by 2 lines that cross to create a 90° angle

Slope-Intercept form: y = mx + b where m = slope, b = y-intercept, x and y

are the coordinates of a point on the given line.

Note Sheet

Draw

Line l passes thru the points (0, 1) and (-2, -3). Construct a line through point P (5, 4) that is parallel to line l.

Draw

Line r passes through the points (0, 3) and (-3, 4).  Construct a line through point A (1, -1) that is perpendicular to line r.
