Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Apply slopes and not slipping. Learners discover the relationship between slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. Individuals use that information to find equations of lines through a given point that is either parallel or perpendicular to given line. They also determine whether two sets of lines are either parallel or perpendicular and find out whether a given figure contains parallel lines.
