Parallel lines have identical slopes.
m%5B1%5D=m%5B2%5D
.
.
.
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals.
m%5B1%5D%2Am%5B2%5D=-1

If the slopes (m) are equal, they're parallel.
----
If they're negative inverses, they're perpendicular.
ie, if m1 = -1/m2
--> m1*m2 = -1
------------------
o/w, they're neither.
===================
a. m = 1/3, m = 3/9 - Parallel equal --> parallel.
b. m = -5/3 , m = -2 - Neither parallel nor perpendicular
c. m = -3 , m = -1/3 - Perpendicular Neither. It's the inverse but not negative inverse.
d. m = -2/5 , m = -4/19 - Parallel ?? -2/5 is not -4/19
e. m = -3/4 , m = -4/19 - Parallel ?? -3/4 is not -4/19
f. m = -3/4 , m= -2/3 - parallel ***** Are they equal?
g. m = -7/8 , m = 8/7 - Perpendicular Correct
h. m = 5/14 , m = -140/42 - perpendicular *** No
i. m = -7/8 , m = -3/5 - parallel *** Are they equal?
j. m = -2/3 , m = 3/2 - perpendicular Correct
k. m = -8/5 , m = -16/24 - parallel Are they equal?
l. m = 1/21 , m = 6/20 - perpendicular ***** Is the product -1 ?
