2. Objective for today’s lesson:
Make and verify conjectures about
gradient of parallel lines and
perpendicular lines, and hence, make
generalisation.
Solve problems involving equations of
parallel and perpendicular lines.

7. Example 1
Since the gradients for both lines are equal,
thus, both lines are parallel to each other.
Since the gradients for both lines
are not equal, both lines are not
parallel lines.
Determine whether the following pairs of straight lines are
parallel lines.

Since the product of the gradients for both
lines is -1, thus, both lines are perpendicular
to each other.
