Question 413589: Decide whether the pair of lines is parallel, perpendicular or neither.
4x+3y=3
3x+4y=9
Here is what I have:
4x+3y=3
3y=-4x+3
y=-4/3x + 3/3 (= 1)
3x+4y=9
4y=-3x+9
y=-3/4x + 9/4
What would that make this and can you help explain the difference? I am pretty sure that parallel has the same slope and perpendicular is -1/x. I maybe be totally wrong, but I think it is neither.
Help would be appreciated.
Thank you much,
Jeffrey G
