1.Determine whether the lines x-5y=15 and -5x-y+2=0 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither
\n" ); document.write( "x-5y=15
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/5)x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "-5x-y+2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "y = -5x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -5
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Since (1/5)(-5) = -1 the lines are parallel.
\n" ); document.write( "==================================================
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2. Determine whether the lines y-4=3x and 2y-6x=8 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither
\n" ); document.write( "y-4=3x
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 3
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2y-6x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x+4
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 3
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Since the two equations are the same the lines are neither.
