<PRE><B>Question 1024116</B>
 State whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. 
17. 5x + 4y = -60 
y = (-4/5)x - (3/5) 
------
y = (-5/4)x - 15
y = (-4/5)x - (3/5)
-----
Not parallal and not perpendicular
----------------------------------------------

18. x + 6y = 196 
689 = (6201/230)y + (4823/460)x
y = (-1/6)x + 3 6/16
y = (-4823/460)]/[6201/230]x + 689/[6201/230]
-----
y = -x/6 + 27/8
y = (-7/8)x + something
-----
Not parallel and not perpendicular
-----------
