Exploring Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

The video tutorial covers the concepts of slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. It begins with an introduction to these concepts, followed by examples that demonstrate how to plot points and calculate slopes for both parallel and perpendicular lines. The tutorial concludes with a practical example of writing the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a given line, using algebraic methods.

What are the coordinates of the first point plotted in the example?

• (-1, 5)

• (2, -4)

• (0, 1)

• (-3, 2)

What is the formula for calculating the slope between two points?

• (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• (x1 - x2) / (y1 - y2)

• (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 5) and (2, -4)?

• 3

• 9

• -3

• -9

What conclusion can be drawn if two lines have the same slope?

• They intersect at a right angle

• They are identical

• They are perpendicular

• They are parallel

What are the coordinates of the second point plotted for line L2?

• (-1, -4)

• (0, -2)

• (3, 0)

• (2, -4)

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 1) and (2, -2)?

• -2/3

• -3/2

• 3/2

• 2/3

What is the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines?

• They are both undefined

• They are both zero

• They are opposite reciprocals

• They are equal

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5?

• -1/5

• 5

• -5

• 1/5

Which form of the equation is used to find the equation of a line given a point and a slope?

• Point-slope form

• Standard form

• Slope-intercept form

• Quadratic form

What is the equation of a line perpendicular to y = 1/5x + 2 that passes through the point (15, -4)?

• y + 4 = 5(x - 15)

• y + 4 = -5(x - 15)

• y - 4 = -5(x + 15)

• y - 4 = 5(x + 15)
