1. Sullivan Algebra and Trigonometry: Section 2.4 Objectives Define Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Find Equations of Parallel Lines Find Equations of Perpendicular Lines Write the Standard Form of the Equation of a Circle Graph a Circle Find the Center and Radius of a Circle and Graph It

2. Definitions: Parallel Lines Two lines are said to be parallel if they do not have any points in common. Two distinct non-vertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope and have different y-intercepts.

3. Find the equation of the line parallel to y = -3x + 5 passing through (1,5). Since parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of the parallel line is m = -3.

4. Definitions: Perpendicular Lines Two lines are said to be perpendicular if they intersect at a right angle. Two non-vertical lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is -1.

5. Example: Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y = -3x + 5 passing through (1,5). Slope of perpendicular line:

6. Definition: A circle is a set of points in the xy-plane that are a fixed distance r from a fixed point (h, k). The fixed distance r is called the radius, and the fixed point (h, k) is called the center of the circle. x y (h, k) r (x, y)

7. Definition: The standard form of an equation of a circle with radius r and center (h, k) is

8. Graph ()()xy  1316 22

9. Step 1: Plot the center of the circle. y x (-1,3) Step 2: Plot points above, below, left, and right of the center by traveling a distance equal to the radius. (-1, 7) (3,3) (-1, -1) (-5, 3) Step 3: Graph the circle.

10. The general form of the equation of a circle is: To find the center, radius, and graph of a circle in general form, first rewrite the equation of the circle in standard form using the process of completing the square.
