 b. m = -5/3 , m = -2   -  Neither parallel nor perpendicular
 c. m = -3 , m = -1/3 - Perpendicular
 d. m = -2/5 , m = -4/19 - Parallel
 e. m = -3/4 , m = -4/19 - Parallel
 f. m = -3/4 , m= -2/3  - parallel
 g. m = -7/8 , m = 8/7 - Perpendicular
 h. m = 5/14 , m = -140/42 - perpendicular
 i. m = -7/8 , m = -3/5 - parallel
 j. m = -2/3 , m = 3/2 - perpendicular
 k. m = -8/5 , m = -16/24 - parallel
 l. m = 1/21 , m = 6/20 - perpendicular
 are all of those correct? Please i need some answers ASAP!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Parallel lines have identical slopes.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 ?
