📚 Topic Summary
Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never intersect. They have the same slope. Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees). The product of their slopes is -1. Understanding these relationships is key to solving geometry problems. Let's test your knowledge!
🧠 Part A: Vocabulary
Match the term with its definition:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Parallel Lines | A. Lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle. |
| 2. Perpendicular Lines | B. The steepness of a line, expressed as a ratio. |
| 3. Slope | C. Lines in the same plane that never intersect. |
| 4. Intersect | D. A location in space. |
| 5. Point | E. To meet or cross. |
✍️ Part B: Fill in the Blanks
Complete the following sentences using the words: parallel, perpendicular, slope, intersect, right angle.
- Lines that never meet and are always the same distance apart are called ________ lines.
- Two lines are ________ if they cross each other at one point.
- The measure of the steepness of a line is called its ________.
- ________ lines form a ________.
🤔 Part C: Critical Thinking
Explain, in your own words, how you can determine if two lines are perpendicular if you know their slopes.
