Question

Given the equations of two lines. Determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither y=1/2x+7 and y= 2x + 3

Answer 1

I believe this would be neither

Answer 2

y=1/2x+7 slope = 1/2

y= 2x + 3 slope = 2

for the lines to be parallel the slopes have to be the same

for the lines to be perpendicular the lines have to be negative reciprocals (1/2 * 2) = -1 they are not

Answer:

they are neither
