  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. So we can say this: When a line is perpendicular to two lines on the plane (where they intersect), it is perpendicular to the plane. It will also be perpendicular to all lines on the plane that intersect there. And there is a lot more we can say: Through a given point there passes: one and only one line perpendicular to a plane.

  3. Parallel lines and their slopes are easy. Since slope is a measure of the angle of a line from the horizontal, and since parallel lines must have the same angle, then parallel lines have the same slope — and lines with the same slope are parallel. Perpendicular lines are a bit more complicated. If you visualize a line with positive slope (so ...

  4. Mathematically, this can be expressed as m 1 = m 2, where m 1 and m 2 are the slopes of two lines that are parallel. Perpendicular lines do not have the same slope. The slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other line. This can be expressed mathematically as m 1 × m 2 = -1, where m 1 and m 2 are the slopes of two lines that are ...

  6. 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.
