When two Parallel Lines are graph they will When two Parallel Lines are graph they will NeverNever intersect. intersect.
We can decide algebraically if two lines are Parallel by finding We can decide algebraically if two lines are Parallel by finding the slope of each line and seeing if the the slope of each line and seeing if the Slopes are EqualSlopes are Equal to to each other.each other.
Testing if Lines are ParallelTesting if Lines are Parallel
Are the lines y = 3x + 2 and 9x – 3y = -6 parallel?
First find the slope of y = 3x + 2
The slope m = 3
Second find the slope of 9x – 3y = - 6
The slope m = 3
Since the slopes are equal the lines are parallel.
9x – 9x – 3y = -9x – 6
-3y = -9x – 6
y = 3x + 2
Example:Example:Bellow is the graph of two Parallel Bellow is the graph of two Parallel
Lines.Lines.
The red line is the graph of y = – 4x – 3 and the blue line is the graph ofy = – 4x – 7
Because the red line and the blue line have the same slope, they will NEVER intercept. Therefore they are PARALLEL LINES.

Write an equation of the line passing through (-3, 2) and parallel to the line whose equation is y = 2x + 1. Express the equation in point-slope form and y-intercept form.

(-3, 2)
Rise = 2
Run = 1y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y1 = 2 m = 2 x1 = -3
Because the slope of the given line is 2, m = 2 for the new equation.
y – 2 = 2[x – (-3)]
y – 2 = 2(x + 3)
y – 2 = 2x + 6 Apply the distributive property.
y = 2x + 8
Add 2 to both sides. + 2 + 2
This is the slope-intercept form of the equation.

Perpendicular LinesPerpendicular LinesWhat are Perpendicular Lines?What are Perpendicular Lines?
Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect forming a right angle (90forming a right angle (90˚̊))..
Perpendicular lines are lines that have Perpendicular lines are lines that have exact opposite slopesexact opposite slopes. .
We can decide algebraically if two lines are perpendicular by finding the slope We can decide algebraically if two lines are perpendicular by finding the slope of each line and seeing if the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. of each line and seeing if the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. This is equivalent to multiplying the two slopes together and seeing if their This is equivalent to multiplying the two slopes together and seeing if their product is –1. product is –1.
If one line has the slope ‘m’ If one line has the slope ‘m’
then a perpendicular line to that line will have a slope = then a perpendicular line to that line will have a slope = ..
Slope and Perpendicular Slope and Perpendicular LinesLines
Slope and Perpendicular Lines• If two non-vertical lines are perpendicular,
then the product of their slopes is –1.(5/2) • (-2/5) = -1
• Slopes are negative reciprocals of each other

Find the slope of any line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x + 4y – 4 = 0.
-2x + 4 -2x + 4 To isolate the y-term, subtract 2x and add 4 on both sides.
Slope is –1/2.
y = -1/2x + 1The given line has slope –1/2.
4 4
Any line perpendicular to this line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal, 2.
4y = -2x + 4Divide both sides by 4.
The red line is the graph of y = – 2x + 5
and the blue line is the graph ofy = – 1/2 x +4

Perpendicular Lines.Perpendicular Lines.
Because the red line and the blue line have the exact opposite slope, they will always intercept and form a 90˚ angle. Therefore the lines are PERPENDICULAR.
