Question

Determine if the two lines y = 2x - 3/2 and y = -2x + 2/3 are parallel, perpendicular or neither. Explain

Answer 1

Neither

Explanation:

For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope. 2 and -2 are not the same. For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be negative reciprocals (ex 5 and -1/5) The slopes of these lines are not the same or negative reciprocals, so they are not parallel or perpendicular.

Hope this helps :-)
