Part 1: Match the following (Lines and Slopes)
1.
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals (their product is -1). So we match with "Perpendicular".
Step1: Recall slope property of perpendicular lines.
Perpendicular lines: slopes are negative reciprocals.
We know that \(\tan(\theta)=\text{slope}\). If slope = 1, then \(\tan(\theta) = 1\), and \(\theta = 45^\circ\) (since \(\tan(45^\circ)=1\)).
Step1: Use \(\tan(\theta)=\text{slope}\) formula.
Given slope = 1, solve \(\tan(\theta)=1\).
Step2: Find \(\theta\) where \(\tan(\theta)=1\).
\(\theta = 45^\circ\) (as \(\tan(45^\circ)=1\)).
The definition of the slope of a line is the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change).
Step1: Recall the definition of slope.
Slope \(=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}\).
