Lesson 5.5 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Alg 7.0 Derive linear equations by using the point-slope formula. Alg 8.0 Understand the concepts of parallel lines and perpendicular lines and how those slopes are related. Find the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point.
Lesson Objective: Students will be able to write equations of parallel and perpendicular lines as demonstrated by a Ticket out the Door.
Graph the following on the coordinate plane. y x Parallel lines have the same slope.
Think Pair Share: Parallel lines Two lines are parallel if they never intersect. Example: Parallel lines Not parallel lines What do we know about the slope of parallel lines?
Graph the following on the coordinate plane. y x Lines appear perpendicular Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals
Perpendicular Lines Two lines are perpendicular if they intersect to form right angles. Example: Not perpendicular Perpendicular What do we know about the slope of perpendicular lines? Think Pair Share: Lines are perpendicular if the product of the slopes is -1 (opposite andreciprocal).
Example 1: m=2 I Do! Find the slopeonly of a line paralleland perpendicular to the graph of each equation. Example 2:

Determine if the lines in each pair are parallel or perpendicular?
Parallel lines: Lines are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
Write in slope-intercept form the equation of the line that is parallel to the line in the graph and passes through the given point.
Flow map for parallel lines: Step 1: Determinethe slope that you will need m = Point-Slope Form • Step 2:take the given point • x1 = • y1 = • Step 3:plug the point and slope into the point - slope formula • y – y1 = m(x – x1) • Step 4:distribute and solve for “y” • y = mx + b Slope-Intercept Form Stop here if the question asks for Point Slope Form
