I can find the equation of a line parallel to a given line passing through a given
point.
Essential Question: Do you use the x- or y-coordinate to find the equation parallel
to x=8? How do you know?

PERPENDICULAR LINES ARE LINES IN THE SAME PLANE THAT INTERSECT
TO FORM A RIGHT ANGLE. The symbol for perpendicular lines is
Sketch two perpendicular lines. (Be sure to show they intersect to form a right angle by putting a box in the angle)
You can determine if two lines are perpendicular by comparing their slopes.

WHEN WILL LINES BE PERPENDICULAR?
Non-vertical and non-horizontal lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals. This means you change the sign and flip it. These lines can have the same y-intercepts, but do not need to.
Example: y=2x+3 is perpendicular to x+3
A line will be perpendicular to a vertical line if it is a horizontal line.
Example: x=5 is perpendicular to y=9
A line will be perpendicular to a horizontal line if it is vertical. Example: y=0 is perpendicular to x=7

1. Find the slope of the given line. The slope of your new line will be the opposite reciprocal of this.
2. Determine x and y from the given point.
3. Substitute m, x and y into the equation y=mx+b and solve for b.
4. Substitute your m and b into y=mx+b
Given m= , New m=-
x=3 and y=0
0=-(3)+b
0=-6+b
6=b
y=-2x+6
