Graphing 23 - parallel and perpendicular lines 1
This lesson on graphing lines explores the concepts of parallel and perpendicular lines in relation to their slopes. Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, while perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other, with the product of their slopes being negative one. Through examples and practice problems, viewers can learn how to determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular without graphing them, as well as how to find the slope of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given line.
Covers parallel and perpendicular lines in relation to their slopes. This is part 23 of a series of videos about graphing lines.

This lesson explains how to find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line that passes through two points and goes through a given point. It also explains that two parallel lines have the same slope, and how to determine if two lines are parallel by comparing their slopes by putting them in slope-intercept form. Finally, this lesson explains that perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, and it goes through several example problems determining if two lines are perpendicular.
