Answer by MathLover1(20850) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
to see if the lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither, use their slopes:
if the slopes are same, lines are parallel
if the slopes are negative reciprocal to each other, lines are perpendicular
For line 1:
=> slope
For line 2:
=> slope is negative reciprocal to
