Determine if Two Lines are Parallel or Perpendicular:

  1. Find the slope of each line
  2. If the slopes are the same, the two lines are parallel
  3. If the slopes have a product of -1, the lines are perpendicular

Write the Equation of a Line in Standard Form:

  1. Use the given information to obtain the slope
    • Parallel lines have the same slope
    • Perpendicular lines have slopes whose product is -1
  2. Use the given point and the slope from the previous step and plug into point-slope form
  3. Place the equation in standard form
    • ax + by = c, a ≥ 0
    • a, b, and c are integers
    • The GCF of a, b, and c is 1
