Lesson 1-2 Slopes of Lines
Objective:
To find the slope of a line and to determine whether two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Slope
A number measuring the steepness of the line relative to the x-axis.
Slope
Horizontal lines have a slope of ???
Slope Vertical lines have a slope of ???
Slope Lines with a positive slope slant ???
Slope Lines with a negative slope slant ???
Slope The slope of the equation y = mx + k is ???
Slope The slope of the equation y = mx + k is ??? This is called slope- intercept form.
What are the slope and y – intercept of the line 7x + 13y = 26?
Slope What do you know about the slopes of parallel lines?
Slope What do you know about the slopes of perpendicular lines?
A line l has equation x + 2y = 5. What is the slope of a line (a) parallel to l? (b) perpendicular to l?
The equations of three lines are given. Which lines are parallel and which are perpendicular? a. y = ¾ x – 7 b. 4x + 3y = 10 c. 3x – 4y = 11
Find the value of k if the line joining (2, k) and (4, 5) and the line y = 3x + 1 are (a) parallel, (b) perpendicular.
