Parallel lines are the same distance apart and do not intersect.

Find the slope of these

pairs of parallel lines. What do you notice?

Line 1: m = ____ Line 1: m = ____

Line 2: m = ____ Line 2: m = ____

If two lines are parallel, they have slopes that are ____________________.
E.g. If the slope of a line is -3, what is the slope of a line parallel to it? ________
Perpendicular lines meet at right angles. Find the slope of these perpendicular lines.
What do you notice?

What about horizontal and vertical lines?
Example 1)
Line ST passes through S(-2, 7) and T(2, -5). Line UV passes through U(-2, 3) and V(7, 6).
a) Are these two lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither? Justify your answer.

Example 2)
a) Determine the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line through G(-2, 3) and H(1, -2).
b) Determine the coordinates of J so that line GJ is perpendicular to line GH.

Example 3)
ABCD is a parallelogram. Is it a rectangle? Justify your answer.
