Algebra.Com's Answer #338101 by Flannery(124)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6+4x=3y;3x-4y=8 \n" ); document.write( "Find slope intercept form of those equations. \n" ); document.write( "(Meaning solve them for y.) \n" ); document.write( "y=4/3x+2;y=3/4x-2 \n" ); document.write( "Point slope form is y=bx+c where x and y are variables and where b and c are constants. \n" ); document.write( "If the b terms in two equations are the same the lines are parallel. If the b terms are negative reciprocals the lines are perpendicular. \n" ); document.write( "The b terms here are 3/4 and 4/3. Reciprocals but not negative reciprocals. \n" ); document.write( "So the answer is neither. \n" ); document.write( "Checked with Microsoft Mathematics. \n" ); document.write( " |
