Question

Line a is represented by the equation y=14x+8 . How do these equations compare to line a? Drag and drop the equations into the boxes to complete the table. Is it Parallel to line a Perpendicular to line a Neither parallel nor perpendicular to line a? y=14x+1

y=4x−8
y=−4x−3

Answer 1

Equation of line a is : y = 14 x +8

A) y = 1 4 x + 1 : It is parallel to line a the reason being slopes of two lines are same i.e 14.

B) y = 4 x -8: Neither parallel nor perpendicular to line a.Because neither the slope of two lines are same nor their product is (-1).

C) y = -4 x -3 : Neither parallel nor perpendicular to line a.Because neither the slope of two lines are same nor their product is (-1).
