Give the slope of each line and then determine whether the two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+4y=8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20x+16y=0
\n" ); document.write( "

5x + 4y = 8 ------- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "20x + 16y = 0 ----- eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "5x + 4y = 0 ------- Dividing eq (ii) by 4 ------ eq (iii)
\n" );
document.write( "Now look at eqs (iii) & (i). When you SUBTRACT one from the other, what do you get? This will determine your answer.
\n" );
document.write( "OR
\n" );
document.write( "Just find each slope and compare them! \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
