1. Enter the equations Y1 = 3X + 1 and Y2 = 3X + 2 by pressing Y= CL 3
x
+ 1 ENTER CL 3 x + 2 .
2. Press ZOOM A (ZOOM) 5 (Default) to view the graphs.
3. These lines are called parallel since they have an equal slope but different
y-intercepts. These lines will not intersect.
4. Enter the equations Y1 = 3X - 1 and Y2 = -1/3 X + 1 by pressing Y= CL
3 x 1 ENTER CL

1 a/b 3 x
+ 1 .
5. Press ZOOM A 7 to view the graphs.
6. These line are called perpendicular since they have slopes that are negative
reciprocals of each other (m
1
= -1/m
2
). Notice, these intersecting lines form
four equal angles.
7. Graph two lines with unequal slopes (not negative reciprocals). What do
you see? Are the lines parallel, perpendicular or neither?
