5.5 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines: The Dark Doodad Nebula

The document discusses parallel and perpendicular lines, noting that parallel lines have the same slope while perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other. It provides examples of determining if lines are parallel or perpendicular based on their slopes and writing equations for lines that are parallel or perpendicular to a given line.

5 Parallel and
Perpendicular Lines
SWBAT verbally tell me how the slope of parallel lines
and perpendicular lines are related. They can find the
equation of a line parallel/perpendicular to a given line
that passes through a given point.
