Parallel & Perpendicular Lines

PARALLEL LINES
[color=#000000]The following applet demonstrates a property that parallel lines have when they're drawn in the coordinate plane. [br] [i] [br]Be sure to move the [color=#1e84cc][b]blue points[/b][/color] around quite a bit![/i] [/color]
QUESTION 1
If you move the blue points to make the lines vertical, are the lines consider parallel?
[color=#000000]What can you conclude about parallel lines drawn in the coordinate plane? [/color]
PERPENDICULAR LINES
[color=#000000]This applet demonstrates a property that perpendicular lines have when they're drawn in the coordinate plane. [br][br][i]Be sure to move the points around quite a bit and observe carefully as you do! [/i][/color]
[color=#000000]What can you conclude about perpendicular lines that are drawn in the coordinate plane? [br](Assume the lines are not aligned horizontally and vertically). [/color]

Linear Function Transformation Exercise
[br][b][size=150]The linear function [color=#ff0000]y = x[/color], denoted by function g. [br][/size] [br][/b]The slope-intercept form is [color=#ff0000][b]y = mx + b[/b][/color], where m=slope and b=y-intercept of the function.[br][br] [size=150][color=#ff0000][b]Note[/b][/color][/size]: The 'slider' feature on the x-y coordinate plane can be used to change the [color=#ff0000][b]m and b[/b][/color] values [br] for the following exercises. To do so, place the cursor and hold it on the dot of the slider and [br] slide it to the desired m and b values.[br] To move the slider to a different location on the x-y plane, place the cursor and hold it on the line [br] of the slider and move it to the desired location.[br][br][color=#ff00ff][b] Note: You can zoom in or out with the mouse.[/b][br][/color]
