Find the Parallel and Perpendicular Line
In the following activity, you will find the the equation of a line parallel and perpendicular to a given line.
- Choose either Parallel or Perpendicular. You can only do one at a time.
- Find the equation of the line through the given point (A for Parallel, B for Perpendicular). You can scroll the coordinate plane, as well as zoom in and out as needed.
- You will get feedback ito help. Also, the corresponding line for your equation will appear to help you understand why or why not your equation was accurate.
- You can always change between problem types or even choose a new problem!
