Equations of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
ENGAGE Essential Question: How can you find the equation of a line that is parallel or perpendicular to a given line?Possible answer: The slopes of parallel lines are
equal. Substitute the known slope and the
coordinates of a point on the other line into the
point-slope form to find the equation of the parallel
line. The product of the slopes of perpendicular
lines is -1. Substitute the opposite reciprocal of the
known slope and the coordinates of a point on the
other line into the point-slope form to find the
equation of the perpendicular line.

1. Your friend says that if two lines have opposite slopes, they are perpendicular. He uses the slopes 1 and –1 as examples. Do you agree with your friend? Explain.
2. The frets on a guitar are all perpendicular to one of the strings. Explain why the frets must be parallel to each other.
Explain 1 Writing Equations of Parallel LinesYou can use slope relationships to write an equation of a line parallel to a given line.
Example 1 Write the equation of each line in slope-intercept form.
The line parallel to y = 5x + 1 that passes through (-1, 2)
Parallel lines have equal slopes. So the slope of the required line is 5.
Use point-slope form. y - y 1 = m (x - x 1 )
Substitute for m, x 1 , y 1 . y - 2 = 5 (x - (-1) ) Simplify. y - 2 = 5x + 5
Solve for y. y = 5x + 7
The equation of the line is y = 5x + 7.
The line parallel to y = -3x + 4 that passes through (9, -6)
Parallel lines have slopes. So the slope of the required line is .
Use point-slope form. y - y 1 = m(x - x 1 )
Substitute for m, x 1 , y 1 . y - = ( x - ) Simplify. y + 6 = x +
Solve for y. y = x +
The equation of the line is .
No; although lines with slopes of 1 and -1 are perpendicular, it’s because the product
of the slopes is -1. Slopes of 2 and -2 are opposites, but the corresponding lines are not
perpendicular.
The frets are lines that are perpendicular to the same line (the string), so the frets must
be parallel to each other.

Math BackgroundIn this lesson, students use the slope criterion for parallel lines and the slope criterion for perpendicular lines to solve problems. Note that the slope criteria given here assume that the lines are neither vertical nor horizontal. If the lines are vertical, the criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines do not apply, since slope is not defined for vertical lines. If the lines are horizontal, both lines have a slope of zero, and the criterion for parallel lines is trivial.
EXPLORE Exploring Slopes of Lines
INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGYStudents have used geometry software to construct perpendicular lines and calculate their slopes. They can use the calculation feature to find the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is always -1.
QUESTIONING STRATEGIESWhat appears to be true about the slopes of non-vertical parallel lines? They are equal.
What appears to be true about the slopes of two non-vertical perpendicular lines? The
slopes are opposite reciprocals.
INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICESFocus on Critical ThinkingMP.3 You may want to discuss the biconditional nature of the slope criteria. Because they are if and only if statements, the criteria can be used in either direction. That is, if you know that two lines are parallel (perpendicular), you can conclude that they have the same (opposite reciprocal) slope. Conversely, if you know that two lines have the same (opposite reciprocal) slope, you can conclude that they are parallel (perpendicular).
EXPLAIN 1 Writing Equations of Parallel Lines
QUESTIONING STRATEGIESHow do you know if an equation is written in slope-intercept form? It is of the form
y = mx + b, with m the slope and b the y-intercept.
How can you use graphing to check your answer? Graph the given line and your
answer line. They should be parallel.

Explain 2 Writing Equations of Perpendicular LinesYou can use slope relationships to write an equation of a line perpendicular to a given line.
Example 2 Write the equation of each line in slope-intercept form.
The line perpendicular to y = 4x - 2 that passes through (3, -1)
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals, which means that the product of the slopes will be -1. So the slope of the required line is - 1 __ 4 .
y - y 1 = m (x - x 1 ) Use point-slope form.
y - (-1) = - 1 _ 4 (x - 3) Substitute for m, x 1 , y 1 .
y + 1 = - 1 _ 4 x + 3 _ 4 Simplify.
y = - 1 _ 4 x - 1 _ 4 Solve for y.
The equation of the line is y = - 1 __ 4 x - 1 __ 4 .
The line perpendicular to y = - 2 __ 5 x + 12 that passes through (-6, -8)
The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is . So the slope of the required line is .
y - y 1 = m (x - x 1 ) Use point-slope form.
y - = ( x - ) Substitute for m, x 1 , y 1 .
y + 8 = x + Simplify.
y = x + Solve for y.
The equation of the line is y .
The equation is y = y 1 , where y 1 is the y-coordinate of the given point. This is because the
x-axis is a horizontal line with equation y = 0.
y - 2.5 = -1 (x - 5)
y - 2.5 = -x + 5

Lines are parallel.
Lines are perpendicular.
Lines have the same slope.
The product of slopes is –1.
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
Whole Class ActivityHave groups of students create posters to describe the slope criteria. Then remind students about the biconditional nature of the criteria and ask them if the criteria are true in two directions. Ask them to display the criteria as graphic organizers. Sample organizers:
AVOID COMMON ERRORSRemind students that the x-coefficient gives the slope of a line only when the equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form. For example, some students might say that the slope of the line represented by the equation y - 2x = 4 is -2. However, the equation is not in slope-intercept form. Rewriting the equation in this form gives y = 2x + 4, which shows that the correct slope is 2.
EXPLAIN 2 Writing Equations of Perpendicular Lines
INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICESFocus on TechnologyMP.5 Students can use their graphing calculators to check that two equations represent perpendicular lines. However, students should be aware that perpendicular lines may or may not appear to be perpendicular on a graphing calculator, depending upon the viewing window that is used. To ensure that perpendicular lines appear to be perpendicular, students should go to the ZOOM menu and choose 5:ZSquare.
QUESTIONING STRATEGIESThe given line has a positive slope. What does this tell you about the required perpendicular
line? Why? It must have a negative slope because
the product of the slopes is −1.
How can you check your answers? Check that
the product of the slopes is −1.

6. A carpenter’s square forms a right angle. A carpenter places the square so that one side is parallel to an edge of a board, and then draws a line along the other side of the square. Then he slides the square to the right and draws a second line. Why must the two lines be parallel?
Your Turn
Write the equation of each line in slope-intercept form.
7. The line perpendicular to y = 3 __ 2 x + 2 that passes through (3, –1)
8. The line perpendicular to y = -4x that passes through (0, 0)

9. Discussion Would it make sense to find the equation of a line parallel to a given line, and through a point on the given line? Explain.
10. Would it make sense to find the equation of a line perpendicular to a given line, and through a point on the given line? Explain.
11. Essential Question Check-In How are the slopes of parallel lines and perpendicular lines related? Assume the lines are not vertical.
Both lines are perpendicular to the edge of the
board. If two coplanar lines are perpendicular to
the same line, then the two lines are parallel to each
other, so the lines must be parallel to each other.
y − (-1) = - 2 __ 3 (x - 3)
y = - 2 __ 3 x + 1
y - 0 = 1 __ 4 (x - 0)
y = 1 __ 4 x
No; if the point is on the line, the line can’t be parallel to the line, because it either
intersects it or it is the same line.
Yes; the line will be perpendicular to the given line at the point.
Parallel lines have the same slope; perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1.

DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION
Communicating MathGroup students in pairs and give each pair a sheet of graph paper with a non-vertical, non-horizontal line drawn on it. Have students draw axes and find the equation of the line. Then have each student plot a point that is not on the line, and find the equation of the line that is parallel, and the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the original line and that passes through the partner’s point. When they are done, they should compare the slopes of their lines to show that the two new lines are parallel (or perpendicular) to each other.
ELABORATE QUESTIONING STRATEGIES
What is the equation of the line through a given point and parallel to the x-axis?
Why? The equation is y = b, where b is the
y-coordinate of the point.
Can either of the lines referred to in the slope criterion for perpendicular lines be vertical?
Why or why not? No; the slope criterion specifies
that neither line is vertical. However, since the lines
are perpendicular, if one line were horizontal, the
other would be vertical.
SUMMARIZE THE LESSONGiven the equation of a line and a point not on the line, how do you find the equation of a
line parallel and perpendicular to the given line? Sample answer: Parallel: Use the
slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b, and
replace m with the slope from the given line. Use
the given point and the slope to solve for b and then
rewrite the equation using the same slope m and
the new y-intercept b.
Perpendicular: Do the same steps as for parallel
except replace m with the opposite reciprocal of m.

COOPERATIVE LEARNINGHave students work in groups of three or four. Ask them to choose one student to give directions. Instruct the other students to each draw a line and a point that is not on the line. The first student will then give a set of directions, step by step, for finding the equation of a parallel or of a perpendicular to the line through the point. The other students will not know which type of line it is until they have followed the directions. Once the student has successfully guided the other students through the process to find the equation of the line, have another student take the lead and describe the process to the others.
JOURNALHave students write and solve a problem involving finding the equation of a line that is parallel to a given line. Remind students to show all the steps of the solution and to explain how they can check the answer.

Surveyors typically use a unit of measure called a rod, which equals 16 1 __ 2 feet. (A rod may seem like an odd unit, but it’s very useful for measuring sections of land, because an acre equals exactly 160 square rods.) A surveyor was called upon to find the distance between a new interpretive center at a park and the park entrance. The surveyor plotted the points shown on a coordinate grid of the park in units of 1 rod. The line between the Interpretive Center and Park Headquarters forms a right angle with the line connecting the Park Headquarters and Park Entrance.
What is the distance, in feet, between the Interpretive Center and the park entrance? Explain the process you used to find the answer.

InterpretiveCenter
ParkHeadquarters
(15, 0)
Park Entrance(25, 25)
About 518 feet; one method is shown.
Find the slope of the line between Park Headquarters (PH) and the park entrance (PE):
m = 25 - 0 _ 25 - 15
= 25 _ 10
= 5 _ 2
Since the line connecting the Interpretive Center (IC) and Park Headquarters (PH)
forms a right angle with the line connecting PH and PE, its slope must be the opposite
reciprocal, - 2 __ 5 .
Use the slope and the coordinates of PH (15, 0) to find the coordinates of IC:
m = 0 - y
______ 15 - x
- 2 _ 5 = -y
_____ 15 - 0 = -y
__ 15
-2 = -y
__ 3
-6 = -y
y = 6
So the coordinates of IC are (0, 6).
Use the distance formula to find the distance in rods between IC and PE:
d = √ ――――――― (25 - 0) 2 + (25 - 6) 2 ≈ 31.4
So the distance in feet equals 31.4 × 16.5, or approximately 518 feet.

EXTENSION ACTIVITY
The Lesson Performance Task mentions that an acre equals 160 square rods. Have students show that that is true, using the fact that 1 square mile equals 640 acres.
Possible explanation: 1 mi = 5280 ft so 1 m i 2 = 5280 × 5280 = 27, 878, 400 f t 2
1 acre = 27, 878, 400 f t 2 ÷ 640 = 43, 560 f t 2
1 rod = 16.5 ft, so 1 ro d 2 = 16.5 × 16.5 = 272.25 f t 2
1 acre = (43, 560 ÷ 272.25) = 160 ro d 2
AVOID COMMON ERRORSIn calculating the distance between the park entrance and the Interpretive Center, students may apply the Distance Formula incorrectly as:
d = √ ―――――――― (25 - 0) 2 + (25 - 6) 2
= √ ―――― 2 5 2 + 1 9 2
= √ ―― 2 5 2 + √ ―― 1 9 2
= 25 + 19
= 44
Remind students to find the sum beneath the radical sign first before finding the square root:
d = √ ―――――――― (25 - 0) 2 + (25 - 6) 2
= √ ―――― 2 5 2 + 1 9 2
= √ ―――― 625 + 361
= √ ―― 986
INTEGRATE MATHEMATICAL PRACTICESFocus on Critical ThinkingMP.3 The distance between Park Headquarters and the Interpretive Center is approximately 267 feet. Explain how you could find the distance from the park entrance to Park Headquarters without using the Distance Formula. You know the distance from
the Interpretive Center to Park Headquarters (267
feet) and the distance from the Interpretive Center
to the park entrance (518 feet), the lengths of two
sides of a right triangle. You can use the
Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third
side joining the park entrance and Park
Headquarters.
