Slope Criteria for Parallel and Perpendicular Lines: Mastery Test
Two objects are moving along separate linear paths where each path is described by position, d, and time, t. The variable d is measured in meters, and the variable t is measured in seconds. The equation describing the graph of the position of the first object with respect to time is d = 2.5t + 2.2. The graph of the position of the second object is a parallel line passing through (t = 0, d = 1). What is the equation of the second graph?
d = 2.5t + 1
The table shows the proof of the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines. What is the missing statement in step 5?
slope of QS x slope of US = - ST/TU x TU/ST

Match each pair of points to the equation of the line that is parallel to the line passing through the points.
D(11, 6) and E(5, 9) and y = -0.5x − 3 H(4, 4) and I(8, 9) and y = 1.25x + 4
The coordinates of A, B, and C in the diagram are A(p,4), B(6,1), and C(9,q). Which equation correctly relates p and q? Hint: Since AB is perpendicular to BC, the slope of × the slope of BC = -1.
p + q = 7
