  1. Find the equation of the line that is: parallel to y = 2x + 1. and passes though the point (5,4) The slope of y = 2x + 1 is 2. The parallel line needs to have the same slope of 2. We can solve it by using the "point-slope" equation of a line: y − y1 = 2 (x − x1) And then put in the point (5,4): y − 4 = 2 (x − 5)

  2. Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle (right angle). This means that the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other. An example of perpendicular lines in the real world would be the intersection of the floor and a wall, or two walls, because two walls intersect at 90° angles, as do the floor and wall.

  3. Given the equations of two lines, this gives a method to test whether the two lines are perpendicular. This also gives us a way to find equations of lines that are perpendicular to another line. In the 2-dimensional plane, given a fixed line and any point on the line, there is exactly one line passing through this point and perpendicular to the original line.

  4. Perpendicular lines (Coordinate Geometry) Perpendicular lines. (Coordinate Geometry) When two lines are perpendicular, the slope of one is the negative reciprocal of the other. If the slope of one line is m, the slope of the other is. Try this Drag points C or D. Note the slopes when the lines are at right angles to each other.

  6. As with parallel lines, we can determine whether two lines are perpendicular by comparing their slopes. The slope of each line below is the negative reciprocal of the other so the lines are perpendicular. f (x) = 1 4x+2 negative reciprocal of 1 4 is −4 f (x) = −4x+3 negative reciprocal of −4 is 1 4 f (x) = 1 4 x + 2 negative reciprocal of ...
