Equations of Parallel Lines WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is designed to provide scaffolding for learners to aid recognizing and finding equations of parallel lines. Section A asks learners to find the pairs of parallel lines from their equations. Section B wants learners to write the equation of a line parallel to another through a given y-intercept. Section C presents a line on a grid and asks for a line parallel line equation through a given point. Section D gives an equation and asks for a parallel line through a given point. Section E asks for a line parallel to another through two other points. Section F is similar to section E, but the points are displayed on a coordinate grid. A final extension question asks learners to show a line through two points is parallel to another equation.
