Introductory Message

This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our

dear learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home.
Activities, questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are
carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide
you step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson
prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on
lessons in each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on
completing this module or if you need to ask your facilitator or your
teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the lesson. At the
end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-
check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity
and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the
Teacher are also provided to our facilitators and parents for
strategies and reminders on how they can best help you on your
home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary
marks on any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in
answering the exercises and tests. And read the instructions
carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in
answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your
teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind to

help you recognize and draw parallel, intersecting and
perpendicular lines. The scope of this module permits it to be used
in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes your diverse vocabulary backgrounds. The lessons are
arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. recognize and draw parallel, intersecting and

perpendicular lines (M3GE-IIIf-12.1).

2. define parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines.

Enjoy your journey. Good luck!

Parallel, Intersecting

and Perpendicular Lines

Look around you. You can see different lines. A road is

forming a line, students are forming lines, and the horizon is
marking imaginary line. As you look at your surroundings, the things
have lines or even forming lines. Your papers have lines; your
uniforms and even the tiniest object in your pockets have lines. As
you see, all objects in this universe are in locations forming a line.

In this module you will be guided in recognizing and drawing

parallel, intersecting and perpendicular lines.

 What’s New

You can see points and lines in all the things around you. A
line is a collection of points along a straight path. Examine the
figure below. Draw a line connecting A and B; C and D.

If we connect points A and B; C and D horizontal lines are

formed.

5
 What is It

Look at your papers. Can you see the horizontal lines? The
horizontal lines on your paper guide you in writing. A line is
composed of points that extends in two directions. Look at Line AB
and Line CD in the figure below. These lines are horizontal lines.

Line AB

Line CD

Line AB and Line CD are horizontal lines. As you notice, the

two lines are the same distance apart. If we will extend the two
lines in each set, they will never meet at a certain point. These
lines are called parallel lines. Parallel lines are lines that will never
meet no matter how far we will extend them.
Now, study the lines below. What can you say about Line A
and Line C?

Line A

Line C

6
 What have you noticed at the intersecting point of the two
lines? What does it form? Lines A and C intersect at point O and
form a corner. These lines are called perpendicular lines.
Perpendicular lines form square corners. Perpendicular lines
intersect and form four right angles.

Look at the illustration.

Line E
Line F

What have you noticed? Lines E and F intersect at a certain

point but the point of intersection does not form right angles. These
lines are called intersecting lines. Lines that meet or intersect at a
common point are called intersecting lines.

perpendicular, or intersecting lines.

 What I Have Learned

In this module, you learned to recognize and draw different

lines. Lines that meet or intersect at common point are called
intersecting lines. Intersecting lines that form square corners are
called perpendicular lines. Two lines that do not meet at a point
are called parallel lines.

What I Can Do

Use your ruler and pencil to draw the following. Identify whether
the figure drawn is parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting lines.

1. The upper and lower lines of your pad paper. Vertical and
horizontal lines that meet at the common point that will form
a square corner.

2. Two diagonal lines that meet at the common point.
