Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Objectives:1. Discover the relationships between the slopes of parallel lines and perpendicular lines.
What type of lines do lines “p” and “q” look like?
parallel lines
Calculate the slope of each.
slope of p = slope of q = = 4

YES – Slopes are
C-22 Perpendicular Slope Conjecture:Two nonvertical lines are _____________ if and only if their slopes are perpendicular
opposite (or negative) reciprocals of each other.
You will be shown the slopes of two lines. On the corner of your notes write down whether each pair of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
