determine whether each pair of lines is perpendicular parallel or neither

Determine Whether Each Pair Of Lines Is Perpendicular Parallel Or Neither class=

Sagot :

Parallel lines mean that the slopes are the same, while perpendicular means that the slopes are negative reciprocals from each other.

With this information,
1. The slopes are the same, so PARALLEL.
2. The slopes are negative reciprocals, so PERPENDICULAR.
3. Same as the second.

Answer:

1st set of equations - parallel

2nd set - perpendicular

3rd set - neither

Step-by-step explanation:

First set:

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by -4: y = 0.5x + 1

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by -6: y = 0.5x - 1.5

Both have the same slope: 0.5 so the lines are parallel.

Second set:

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by 3: y = -2/3x + 4

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by -4: y = 3/2x - 7/4

-2/3 * 3/2 = -1, so the lines are perpendicular

Third set

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by 1/2: y = -2x+4

simplify the equation for line 1  by dividing by 2: y = -1/4x +2

-2x+4=-0.25x+2

-2x+0.25x=2-4

-1.75x=-2

x=1.14

y=-2(1.14)+4 = 1.7143. So there is an intersection point
