Parallel and perpendicular lines, QuickChek
Parallel Lines: Two lines in a plane that never intersect and have the same slope are called parallel lines. This means that they have the same steepness or incline but may be at different heights on the plane.
Example: The lines y = 2x + 3 and y = 2x - 1 are parallel lines because they have the same slope of 2.
Perpendicular Lines: Two lines in a plane that intersect at a 90-degree angle are called perpendicular lines. This means that their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
Example: The lines y = 2x + 3 and y = -1/2x + 3 are perpendicular lines because their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. The slope of the first line is 2, and the slope of the second line is -1/2.
