CONCEPT: WRITING EQUATIONS OF LINES EQ: HOW DO WE WRITE THE EQUATION OF A LINE THAT IS PARALLEL OR PERPENDICULAR TO A GIVEN LINE? (G.GPE.5) VOCABULARY : SLOPE, PARALLEL, PERPENDICULAR, RECIPROCAL LESSON 6.1B WRITING EQUATIONS OF PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR LINES
FIRST WORD Create an acrostic about everything you remember from the previous lesson using the word. S L O P E
INTRODUCTION Parallel lines are lines which never touch or intersect. Perpendicular lines are lines which meet or intersect and create a 90° angle aka a right angle. We can find the equation of two lines which are parallel or perpendicular and prove whether the lines are parallel or perpendicular.
