Question 300008: determine whether lines are parallel or perpendicular
12x-6y= -24
-2x+y= -8
choose between following answers
parallel because slopes are equal
parallel because slopes are negative reciprocals of each other
perpendicular because slopes are equal
perpendicular because slopes are negative reciprocals of each other

12x-6y= -24
-6Y=-12X-24
Y=-12X/-6-24/-6
Y=2X+4 SLOPE=2
-2x+y= -8
Y=2X-8 SLOPE=2
THESE LINE ARE PARALLEL BECAUSE THE SLOPES ARE EQUAL.
