Answer:

Line D

Explanation:

You want to know which line is not parallel or perpendicular to the other given lines:

A: 2y -x = 2

B: 4y = -8x -4

C: y = -2x +4

D: 5y = 10x +15

Standard form

We can write each of these equations in standard form to make it easier to compare them. That form is ...

ax +by = c

where a > 0 and a, b, c are mutually prime.

The equations are ...

A: x -2y = -2

B: 2x +y = -1

C: 2x +y = 4

D: 2x -y = -3

Parallel lines

Equations with the same coefficients of x and y will be parallel:

2x +y = -1 and 2x +y = 4 . . . . lines B and C

Perpendicular lines

Equations with coefficients that have been swapped, with one negated, will be perpendicular:

x -2y = -2 and 2x +y = -1 . . . . lines A and B

Line A is perpendicular to parallel lines B and C, so line D is the odd one out.

Line D doesn't fit.
