Question 126156: Are the following lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
L1 with equation x – 6y = 24
L2 with equation 6x + y = 6

convert equations to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

L1 __ y=(1/6)x-4

L2 __ y=-6x+6

the slopes are negative reciprocals (their product is -1)
__ so the lines are perpendicular
