Answer:

Explanation:

When expressed in the the slope-intercept form of y = mx + b, the slope of the line is m. m can be used to determine whether two lines are Perpendicular, Parallel, or neither by using these rules:

Given two lines in the format of:

y = m1x + b, and

y = m2x + b,

we can use the following rules:

1. Parallel lines have identical slopes. If m1 = m2, then lines 1 and 2 are parallel.

2. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative inverse of each other. . If m1 = - 1/ m2, then lines 1 and 2 are perpendicular.

Key:

Per is Perpendicular

Par is Parallel

N is Neither

1. m = 2, m = -1/2_____Per________________

2. m = 3, m = -3 _____N_________________

3. m = -4, m =-1/4 ____N________________

4. m = 10, m = -.1 _____Per_______________

5. m = 2, m = 3 _______N_______________

6. m = 4/5, m = 8/10____Par________________

7.

y = 14x − 3

y = −4x + 3 Slopes of 14 and - 4: Neither

8. y = 2x − 4

y = −2x + 5 Slopes of 2 and - 2: Neither

9. 3x + y= 5

y = − 13 x+ 2 Slopes of 2 and - 2: Neither

10. 2x + 3x− 6 = 0

y= − 23 x+ 3 The first is not an equation. x = (6/5) : Neither

Given the lines below, create a line that is parallel, one that is perpendicular and one that is neither.

Line

Parallel

Perpendicular

Neither

11. y = 3x + 4

Line y = 3x + 4

Parallel y = 3x + 6

Perpendicular y = -(1/3)x + 4

Neither y = 5x + 4

12. 2x – y = 8

Line: 2x – y = 8

-y = -2x + 8

y = 2x - 8

Parallel y = 2x + 2

Perpendicular y = -(1/2)x - 8

Neither y = x - 7

13. 3x + 4y+ 12 = 0

Line 3x + 4y+ 12 = 0

4y = - 3x - 12

y = -(3/4)x - 3

Parallel y = -(3/4)x + 2

Perpendicular y = (4/3)x - 3

Neither y = -(1/4)x - 3

14. y = 3

Line y = 3 is not a line. It is a point.

Parallel None

Perpendicular None

Neither Yes
