    8 Coordinate Geometry of Straight Lines

    8.3A Parallel Lines

    Name: _________________________ Class: ___________

    Objectives: 1. Recognize the conditions for two straight lines to be parallel on a rectangular coordinate plane.
    2. Use the relationship between the slopes of a pair of parallel lines to solve some geometric problems.

    Key Points
    Let m1 and m2 be the slopes of straight lines L1 and L2 respectively.
    If L1 // L2, then m1 = m2.

    Note: The above result is also applicable for two


    horizontal lines but not for two vertical lines.

    1. In each of the following figures, L2 is parallel to L1. Find the slope of L2.
    (a) (b)

    Solution Solution

    2. In the figure, L1 passes through P(3, 0) and Q(–1, 6). L2 passes


    through R(k, –4) and S(4, –7). If L1 // L2, find the value of k.
    Solution ~ Example 8.9

    4. L1 is a straight line passing through A(–2, –1). L2 is a straight line passing through C(2, 1) and
    D(4, –2). If L1 // L2, find the y-intercept of L1.
    Solution

    Key Points
    Let m1 and m2 be the slopes of straight lines L1 and L2 respectively.
    If m1 = m2, then L1 // L2.

    Note: The above result is also applicable for two


    horizontal lines but not for two vertical lines.

    5. In each of the following, determine whether the straight lines AB and CD are parallel.
    (a) (b)
