5. Special Lines: Two sets of lines are perpendicular if they have opposite reciprocal slopes. (opposite = different signs; reciprocal = flip the fraction). Two sets of lines are parallel if they have the same slope. Below is a grid representing a yard. We want to build a rectangular garden anywhere in the yard. Find a set of 4 equations to form a rectangle on the graph below. Explain how you found your equations and how you verified that opposing lines were parallel and connecting lines were perpendicular to form a true rectangle. Show your work here:
