Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

(3)

Parallel lines have equal slopes

the equation of a line in sloipe- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y =
(1)/(4) x + 5 ⇒ m =
(1)/(4)

y = 4x + 5 ⇒ m = 4

y = - 4x + 5 ⇒ m = - 4

y = - 4x - 9 ⇒ m = - 4

the 3rd and 4th options have equal slopes and are parallel

(4)

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m)

y =
(1)/(6) x + 4 ⇒ m =
(1)/(6)

y = -
(1)/(6) x + 5 ⇒ m = -
(1)/(6)

y =
(1)/(6) x + 3 ⇒ m =
(1)/(6)

y = 6x + 3 ⇒ m = 6

note that a slope of m = 6 , has a perpendicular slope of


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(6)

the 2nd and 4th lines are perpendicular
