Writing Equations for Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Practice

Front

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line y = 3x + 2?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 4x - 1?

Back

The slope is -1/4 (negative reciprocal of 4).

Front

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (1, 2) and is parallel to the line y = 5.

Back

y = 5.

Front

Write an equation of a line that passes through the point (3, 4) and is perpendicular to the line y = -2x + 1.

Back

y = 1/2x + 2.

Front

If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes are __________.

Back

Back

YES.

Front

Are the lines y = -3x + 4 and y = 1/3x - 2 perpendicular?

Back

YES.
