IntroductionThe slopes of parallel lines are always equal, whereas the slopes of perpendicular lines are always opposite reciprocals. It is important to be able to determine whether lines are parallel or perpendicular, but the creation of parallel and perpendicular lines is also important. In this lesson, you will write the equations of lines that are parallel and perpendicular to a given line through a given point.

Key Concepts• You can write the equation of a line through a given
point that is parallel to a given line if you know the equation of the given line. It is necessary to identify the slope of the given equation before trying to write the equation of the line that is parallel or perpendicular.
•Writing the given equation in slope-intercept form allows you to quickly identify the slope, m, of the equation.
