Question

From the given slopes of the lines, identify whether the two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Slope 1
2

Slope 2
1/2

Answer 1

Neither

Explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Clearly the lines are not parallel.

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines equals - 1

2 ×
`(1)/(2)` = 1 ≠ - 1

Thus the lines are not perpendicular.
