In this lesson, you will continue to examine methods of writing an equation of a line. In recent lessons, you learned that the method you use to write the equation of a line is determined by the information given. You will continue to use those methods along with the relationship between slopes of lines.
When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:
- Write an equation of a line parallel to a given line.
- Write an equation of a line perpendicular to a given line.
- Write an equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to an axis.
- Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form given two points.
Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
