Identify Line Types: Identify Types of Lines

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Identify Line Types: Identify Types of Lines interactive also includes:
  • Parallel and Perpendicular Lines and Planes
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

If lines aren't parallel or perpendicular, then what are they? An interactive lets users rotate a line to change its orientation with respect to another line. It then indicates whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting.
