| Parallel | Lines that lie in the same plane and never cross. |
| Perpendicular | Lines that intersect to form right angles. |
| Standard Form of a Linear Equation | Ax + By = C |
| Slope Intercept Form of a Linear Equation | y = mx + b |
| Process for finding y-intercept | Substitute 0 for x in equation then solve or y. |
