Determine Whether Lines are
Perpendicular
GEOMETRY The height of a
trapezoid is measured on a
segment that is perpendicular
to a base. In trapezoid ARTP,
RT and AP are bases. Can EZ
be used to measure the
height of the trapezoid?
Explain.
Determine Whether Lines are
Perpendicular
Find the slope of each segment.
Determine Whether Lines are
Perpendicular
Answer: The slope of RT and AP is 1 and the slope of
EZ is –7. –7●1  –1. EZ is not perpendicular to RT and
AP, so it cannot be used to measure height.

Perpendicular Line Through a Given Point
Write the slope-intercept form for an equation of a
line that passes through (4, –1) and is
perpendicular to the graph of 7x – 2y = 3.
Step 1 Find the slope of the given line.
7x – 2y = 3
7x – 2y – 7x = 3 – 7x
–2y = –7 + 3
Original equation
Subtract 7x from each
side.
Simplify.

Perpendicular Line Through a Given Point
Write the slope-intercept form for an equation of a
line perpendicular to the graph of 2y + 5x = 2 that
passes through (0, 6).
Step 1 Find the slope of 2y + 5x = 2.
2y + 5x = 2
2y + 5x – 5x = 2 – 5x
2y = –5x + 2
Original equation
Subtract 5x from each
side.
