L ine A line goes on and on in both directions. A line is drawn with an arrow on each end .
Point This is called a point! When it’s at the end of a line it is called an endpoint!
L ine Segment A line segment is a part of a line. It is drawn with two endpoints
Ray A ray goes on and on in one direction. It is drawn with an arrow on one end and an endpoint on the other.
Two coplanar lines that have a point in common. INTERSECTING LINES CONCURRENT LINES PERPENDICULAR LINES A Two intersecting lines meeting at point A. Three or more coplanar lines that intersect at exactly one point. Concurrent lines meeting at a point O. Two lines that intersect and form a right angle. O A B C D E EC ⊥ AB “ray EC is perpendicular to line AB
Parallel lines Parallel lines are always the same distance apart. They will never touch. “Enemy Lines”
Parallel lines Can you find the parallel lines?
Parallel lines Parallel lines are any two coplanar lines that do not intersect A B D C AB ∥ CD symbol for parallelism
Parallel Postulate There is exactly one line parallel to a line at a given point not contained on a line.
Intersecting lines Intersecting lines are two lines that cross each other “Friends”
Intersecting lines Can you find the intersecting lines?
Perpendicular lines 90 Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect to form right angles. “Married”
Perpendicular lines Can you find the perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines Perpendicular lines are also intersecting lines because they cross each other. Perpendicular lines are a special kind of intersecting lines because they always form “perfect” right angles.
Perpendicular lines Perpendicular lines are the two intersecting lines that form right angles A B C D AB ⊥ CD symbol for perpendicularity
Theorems of Perpendicular lines 1. If two lines are perpendicular to each other, then they form four right angles. n m 1 2 3 4 If m ⊥ n , then we can conclude that ∠ 1, ∠ 2, ∠ 3, and ∠ 4 are right angles.
Theorems of Perpendicular lines 2. If the angles in a linear pair are congruent, then the lines containing their sides are perpendicular n m 1 2 3 4 If ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 form a linear pair and ∠ 1 ≅ ∠ 2, then m ⊥ n
Theorems of Perpendicular lines 3. If two angles are adjacent and complementary, the non-common sides are perpendicular. C If ∠ CAR and ∠ EAR are complementary and adjacent, then AC ⊥ AE. A R E
