Algebra.Com's Answer #618984 by josgarithmetic(39618)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve each for y in terms of x. Are the equations identical? What is the slope of each?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the equations are equivalent, then \"congruent\". If slopes are the same but equations not equivalent, then parallel; if slopes are negative reciprocals, then perpendicular. \"Skew\" is not applicable in the restricted two dimensions of just x and y. \n" ); document.write( " |
