Question 895165:  a. m = 1/3, m = 3/9 - Parallel 
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.

 Answer by Alan3354(69443)      (Show Source): 
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 ?
