Question 44708: determine which two equations represent perpendicular lines
A) y=5/3x-3
B) y=3x-5/3
C) y=-1/3x+5/3
D y=1/3x-5/3 Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perpendicular lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals of each other...
Notice that choices B and C have slopes which are 3 and -1/3, respectively...
Thus B and C are perpendicular.
