No support for LM Objects Explore the properties of parallel lines with the LiveMath  Notebook at the left.  Change the values of the coefficients in the original equations and watch as the graphs update online.

What must the coefficients of the second equation change to for the lines to be perpendicular?

Remember that perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocals of each other.

Use the mouse to drag the graph to find point of intersection for non parallel lines, or use the zoom out feature. Click on the rocket ship.
