Intersecting and Parallel Lines

For Students 6th - 8th Standards
Sometimes line segments just refuse to meet. Young mathematicians connect houses on an interactive map using line segments. They must then determine whether these line segment pairs are intersecting or parallel.

Equations of Parallel Lines: Exploring Equations

For Students 9th - 11th Standards
Same slope, different point — what's the same and what's different about an equation? Young mathematicians use an interactive to position a line parallel to a given line and through a given point. They observe that the equation will have...

Comparing Equation of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

For Students 9th - 11th Standards
It seems perpendicular lines have slopes which follow a specific rule. Scholars use an interactive to investigate this rule by moving a pair of lines on a coordinate plane. They find that perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite...
