Lesson 2-3: Pairs of Lines 2
Parallel Lines Parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not intersect. Arrows are used to indicate lines are parallel. The symbol used for parallel lines is ||.

PERPENDICULAR LINES
Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect to form a right angle.
The symbol used for perpendicular lines is . 4 right angles are formed.

nIn this figure line m is perpendicular to line n.
With symbols we denote, m n

OBLIQUE LINES
Oblique lines are lines that intersect, but do NOT form a right angle.

Skew Lines and Parallel Planes
Two lines are skew if they do not intersect and are not in the same plane (not coplanar).
Ex: All planes are either parallel or intersecting. Parallel planes are
two planes that do not intersect.

Slope of Parallel and Perpendicular lines
The slope of the non vertical line through the points and is
m =
The slope of a vertical line is not defined.The slope of a horizontal line is zero.
Two lines are parallel if and only if they have equal slopes.Two lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of
their slopes is -1 (reciprocals and opposite signs).
