Recognizing Parallel and Perpendicular
Lines
1) Students will be able to look at lines in slope-intercept form and
tell if they are parallel or perpendicular to each other.
2) Students will be able to re-write lines in slope-intercept form and
determine if they are parallel or perpendicular.

Parallel Lines are lines that
will NEVER touch.
Perpendicular Lines are lines
that touch at one place and
form a right angle.

What about perpendicular lines?
Slopes of perpendicular lines have
NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL
slopes.
Which means...
take the slope and flip it, then make it opposite.

Perpendicular lines have opposite (sign change)
AND
reciprocal ("flip it") slopes of each other.

Perpen, Perpendicular. Right Angle.
Perpen, Perpendicular. Right Angle.
First you take the slope and you flip it, you flip it.
Then you take the slope and make it opposite,
opposite.
Perpen, Perpendicular. Right Angle.

Are the lines parallel,
perpendicular, or neither?
y = 2x + 3
y = 2x - 5
They are parallel
because
the slopes are the
same.

Are the lines parallel, perpendicular
or neither?
The lines are perpendicular
to each other because the
slopes are opposites and
reciprocals of each other.
