(1)
(2)
------------------
Put both equations into the
slope-intercept form which
will look like:
where
= slope
= y-intercept
---------------------------
Subtract from both sides of (1)
(1)
Divide both sides by
(1)
Note that (-)/(-) = (+) ,so
(1)
-----------------------------
Note that (2) is already in the slope-intercept form
(2)
-----------------------
If these lines were parallel, then their slopes would
be the same, and they are not
If these lines were perpendicular, then their slopes
would have the relation:
If , solve for
But actually, , so these
line are neither parallel nor perpendicular
