1. Graph 3y – 3x = -15 and 6y – 12x = 12 on the same coordinate plane
Graph 3y – 3x = -15 and 6y – 12x = 12 on the same coordinate plane. State two ways the graphs are different. Explain the reason for each difference.
Sample Answer:
1.) The graph of the line y = x – 5 will be less steep than the graph of the line y = 2x This is because the slope of the line y = x – 5 is 1 and the slope of the line y = 2x + 2 is 2. If the slope is greater, the line is steeper.
2.) The graph of the line y = x – 5 will cross the y-axis at -5 and the graph of the line of y = 2x + 2 will cross the y-axis at 2. This is because the y-intercept of y = x – 5 is -5 and the y-intercept of y = 2x + 2 is 2.

2. y = -2/3x + 2 y = -2/3x – 3 Parallel lines have the same slope.
1. On one square, graph the lines:
y = -2/3x + 2
y = -2/3x – 3
What are these lines called?
What can you conclude about these lines and their slope?
Parallel lines have the same slope.
The slope of line 1 = -2/3
The slope of line 2 = -2/3
Parallel lines have the same slope.

3. Fri, 1/11 SWBAT…Write equations that are parallel or perpendicular
Agenda
WU (10 min)
Parallel and perpendicular lines (35 min)
Warm-Up:
Directions: Find the slope of the line parallel to each given line.
y = 3x – 2
-5y = 8x + 6
-2y – 5x = 10
HW#7: Parallel and perpendicular lines (both sides) 3

4. Write an equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) for the line that is PARALLEL to y = -3/4x + 4 and that passes through the point (-2, 3).
Graph BOTH LINES.

5. 2. On one square, graph the lines:
y = 4x + 2
y = -1/4x – 3
What can you conclude about perpendicular lines and their slope?
Perpendiculars lines have slopes that are opposite signs and reciprocals!!!!!!
The slope of line 1 = 4
The slope of line 2 = -1/4
Perpendiculars lines have slopes that are opposite signs and reciprocals. In other words, when you multiply their slopes, they equal -1.

6. Are y = 3 and y = 7, parallel, perpendicular or neither?
Answer: Parallel, because they have the same slopes of 0 (they are horizontal lines.)

7. y = -5/2x + 10
-5x + 2y = 20
Are these two lines parallel, perpendicular or neither?
Answer: Neither. The first line has a slope of -5/2 and the second line has a slope of 5/2. They do not have the same slope or opposite and reciprocals.

8. y = 1/3x + 10
3x + y = 5
Are these two lines parallel, perpendicular or neither?
Answer: Perpendicular. The first line has a slope of 1/3 and the second line has a slope of -3. They have slopes that are opposite and reciprocals, therefore they are perpendicular lines.

9. Are x = 4 and x = 7parallel, perpendicular or neither?
Answer: Parallel, because they have the same slopes of undefined(they are vertical lines)

10. Write an equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) for the line that is PERPENDICULAR to the given line and that passes through the given point.
Graph BOTH LINES.
y = -½x (-2, 0)
