Question 486928: without graphing, determine whether the following pairs of lines are (a) parallel, (b) perpendicular, or (c) neither parallel or perpendicular:
5x - 6y = 19
6x + 5y = -30

Solve for each line (for y) to find the slope. Then compare the slope
If two slopes are the same, the lines are PARALLEL
If the slopes PRODUCT is -1, two lines are PERPENDICULAR
Otherwise, neither parallel nor perpendicular.
