📚 Learn How to Identify and Write Equations for Parallel and Perpendicular Lines! In this video, you'll learn how to:
✔ Understand how slopes determine the relationship between lines
✔ Write the equation of a line parallel to a given line
✔ Write the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line
✔ Determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither
We walk through step-by-step examples using point-slope form and discuss how to recognize slope relationships from equations written in standard form or slope-intercept form.
🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines:
✔ Parallel lines have the same slope
✔ Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes (e.g., m = 2 → perpendicular slope = -½)
✅ How to Write the Equation of a Line Given a Point and a Line:
✔ Use point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
✔ For parallel lines: use the same slope as the given line
✔ For perpendicular lines: use the negative reciprocal of the slope
📊 Examples Covered in This Video:
✔ Find an equation of a line through (1, 2) parallel to 2x - y = 3
✔ Find an equation of a line through (1, −6) parallel to x + 2y = 6
✔ Find an equation of a line through (1, 2) perpendicular to 2x - y = 3
✔ Find an equation of a line through (-2, 2) perpendicular to 3x + y =4
✔ Determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither:
• y = 2x + 3 and 2y − 4x = 5
• −3x + 4y = 4 and 4x + 3y = 5
• 7x − 3y = 2 and 21x + 9y = 1
By the end of this video, you’ll be able to:
✔ Recognize slope relationships between two lines
✔ Write equations of parallel and perpendicular lines
✔ Use slope and point-slope form to model linear relationships
