Question 162492: are the following equations parallel, perpendicular or nethier to y = 5x + 6
x = 5x + 1
y = -5x - 6
x = -5y + 6

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = 5x + 1
I will assume that this is incorrect and what is really being expressed is y=5x+1

In that case it is parallel to y = 5x + 6
because they have the same slope
y = -5x - 6 is neither.+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C-5x-6%2C+5x%2B6%29+


x = -5y + 6
This line is perpendicular because the slope is inverse and is -. This is the definition of a perpendicular line
