Answer:
<em><u>Lines are perpendicular to each other .</u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard equation of line is : y = mx + c, Where m represents the slope
Given Equations :
Two lines are parallel if the slope of the lines are same.
Two line are perpendicular if the product of the slope = - 1
Clearly slopes are not equal , therefore the lines are not parallel.
product of the slope is - 1, therefore the lines are perpendicular.
The product would expand to
This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable .
So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.
In the first case, we require
In the second case, we require
But must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.
The equivalence 
means that n-5 is a multiple of 12.
that is
n-5=12k, for some integer k
and so
n=12k+5
for k=-1, n=-12+5=-7
for k= 0, n=0+5=5 (the first positive integer n, is for k=0)
we solve 5000=12k+5 to find the last k
12k=5000-5=4995
k=4995/12=416.25
so check k = 415, 416, 417 to be sure we have the right k:
n=12k+5=12*415+5=4985
n=12k+5=12*416+5=4997
n=12k+5=12*417+5=5009
The last k which produces n<5000 is 416
For all k∈{0, 1, 2, 3, ....416}, n is a positive integer from 1 to 5000,
thus there are 417 integers n satisfying the congruence.
