INSTRUCTOR GUIDANCE EXAMPLE: Week Three Discussion
Parallel and Perpendicular
For this week’s discussion I am going to find the equations of lines that are parallel or
perpendicular to the given lines and which are passing through the specified point. First I
will work on the equation for the parallel line.
The equation I am given is
The parallel line must pass through point
y = -⅔ x + 2
(-6, -3)
I have learned that a line parallel to another line has the same slope as the other line, so
now I know that the slope of my parallel line will be -⅔. Since I now have both the
slope and an ordered pair on the line, I am going to use the point-slope form of a linear
equation to write my new equation.
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y – (-3) = -⅔[x – (-6)]
y + 3 = -⅔x + (-⅔)6
y = -⅔x – 4 – 3
y = -⅔x – 7
This is the general form of the point-slope equation
Substituting in my known slope and ordered pair
Simplifying double negatives and distributing the slope
Because (-⅔)6 = -4 and 3 is subtracted from both sides
The equation of my parallel line!
This line falls as you go from left to right across the graph of it, the y-intercept is 7 units
below the origin, and the x-intercept is 10.5 units to the left of the origin.
Now I am ready to write the equation of the perpendicular line.
The equation I am given is
y = -4x – 1
The perpendicular line must pass through point
(0, 5)
I have learned that a line perpendicular to another line has a slope which is the negative
reciprocal of the slope of the other line so the first thing I must do is find the negative
reciprocal of –4.
The reciprocal of -4 is -¼ , and the negative of that is –(-¼) = ¼. Now I know my slope
is ¼ and my given point is (0, 5). Again I will use the point-slope form of a linear
equation to write my new equation.
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y – 5 = ¼ (x – 0)
y–5=¼x
y=¼x+5
Substituting in the slope and ordered pair
The zero term disappears
Adding 5 to both sides of the equation
The equation of my perpendicular line!
This line rises gently as you move from left to right across the graph. The y-intercept is
five units above the origin and the x-intercept is 20 units to the left of the origin.
