Given

The lines,


\begin{gathered} y=-x+11\text{ \_\_\_\_\_\lparen1\rparen} \\ 2y=-2x+22\text{ \_\_\_\_\_\_\lparen2\rparen} \end{gathered}

To find:

Whether the lines are perpendicular, coinciding, intersecting or parallel?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,


\begin{gathered} y=-x+11\text{ \_\_\_\_\_\lparen1\rparen} \\ 2y=-2x+22\text{ \_\_\_\_\_\_\lparen2\rparen} \end{gathered}

That implies,

Since the slope of the two lines are,


\begin{gathered} m_1=-1 \\ m_2=(-2)/(2)=-1 \\ \therefore m_1=m_2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the two lines are parallel.
