Parallel Lines //
All parallel lines have the same slope.Parallel lines will NEVER have the same
y-intercept.The slope of all vertical lines is
undefined. (No Slope)The slope of all horizontal lines is zero.
Perpendicular Lines Lines that form a 90° Angle.Perpendicular Lines CAN have the same
y-intercept IF that is where they cross.Perpendicular Lines have slopes that are
negative reciprocals.– This means to change the sign and flip the
slope.
Ex. If line “m” has a slope of 5, then it’s negative reciprocal is

Let’s compare Vertical and Horizontal Lines.
Vertical lines are ┴ to horizontal lines.
AND
Horizontal lines are ┴ to vertical lines.
Name the slope of each line, thenGive the PARALLEL slope and thePERPENDICULAR slope.
Equation m // m m
y = 3x + 5
7x + y = 4
y = 2

Why do we need to be able to identify the Parallel & Perpendicular Slopes?
So that we can write equations for new lines.– Either lines that are Parallel– OR lines that are Perpendicular
HOW?– 1. Name the slope of the line you are given.– 2. List the new slope.– 3. Use the new slope and the point you are
given in the slope-intercept formula to write a new equation.
Example 5
3 4y x 5. 3m
Write an equation that is PARALLEL to the given line passing through the given point.
// 3m; (1,5)
y mx b ( , )x y
5 ( 3) (1) b3 b533b8
y mx b y
New //Equation 3x 8
Write an equation that is PARALLEL to the given line passing through the given point.

Example 6
7. x = 5; (3, 4)
Choose program ASLOPEOption #2– Name the slope
• Undefined – No number value – so…..
– Name the “x” coordinate in the ordered pair.
Parallel LinesHave SAME
Slope (m)
Both are Undefined
But…
DIFFERENTY-int.(b)
No y-int, but different “x”
8. y = 3x – 2; (6, -1)Choose program ASLOPEOption #2
– Name the slope of this line but do not type it in.• m = 3
• What is perpendicular to 3?
• - 1/3
– type this one in because you are looking for a perpendicular equation.
– Enter the X and Y from the ordered pair.
Write an equation that is PERPENDICULAR to the given line passing through the given point.
