Task 1
RW7m8xXt4Uqf81
nagranie abstraktu

Open the Geogebra applet Parallel/perpendicular lines. Draw a line k. Choose a way of constructing the line l when there are two points that this line goes through – the option ‘two points’. A line l going through two randomly chosen points will appear. By changing the location of any of these points establish the position of the line l in such a way that it is parallel to the line k. Using the applet, verify if it is actually parallel to the line k. What is the slopeslopeslope of the line l?

nagranie abstraktu

Open the geogebra applet parallel/perpendicular lines. Draw a line k. Choose a way of constructing the line l when there are two points that this line goes through – the option ‘two points’. A line l going through two randomly chosen points will appear. By changing the location of any of these points establish the position of the line l in such a way that it is perpendicular to the line k. Using the applet, verify if it is actually perpendicular to the line k. If the line l is perpendicular to the line k, then calculate the slope of the line l. Write the result in the table. Repeat this procedure a few times and write down results of following observations.

Task 3
RFlSC3LqMIWfG1
nagranie abstraktu

Open the geogebra applet parallel/perpendicular lines.  Draw a line k. Choose the way of constructing the line l when there is given slopeslopeslope of the line and a point that it goes through – the option ‘slope‑point’. After writing the value of the numerator and the denominator of the slope in the window of the applet, the line l occurs, that goes through the randomly chosen point. Using the slider set the value of the slope l in such a way that the line l is perpendicular to the line k. By changing the location of the point on the line l, you can move it parallely and set in the window of the applet in a convenient way. Using the applet verify if it actually perpendicular to the line k. If the line l is perpendicular to k, then write the set slope of the line l with the slope of the line k in the table. Repeat this procedure a few times and write down results of following observations.

Think what is the relation between slopes aIndeks dolny 1 and aIndeks dolny 2 of perpendicular lines k and l?

The condition for perpendicularity of lines described by slope‑intercept equations
Definition: The condition for perpendicularity of lines described by slope‑intercept equations
RYpNEAIe27IWI1
nagranie abstraktu

Lines k and l are described by slope‑intercept equations k:y=a1x+b1, l:y=a2x+b2 are perpendicular if and only if a1·a2=-1.

kl

if and only if, when

a1·a2=-1

We say that „aIndeks dolny 2 is a number opposite to the reciprocal of the number aIndeks dolny 1
