I see that the slope of one line is the reciprocal of the slope of the other: -4/5 and -5/4. Unfortunately, these cannot be called perpendicular lines, because the slopes of perp. lines are negative reciprocals.

Neither are the slopes of these two lines equal. Were they equal, the lines would be parallel.

The most probably true statement would be that the two lines intersect. If you want to understand this problem well, graph the 2 lines and determine where they intersect. My result is the point (-5, 5.75).

How do you know if a coordinate on a graph is positive or negative?

Negative Slope. If a line has a positive slope (i.e. m > 0 ), then y always increases when x increases and y always decreases when x decreases. Thus, the graph of the line starts at the bottom left and goes towards the top right. Thus, as x increases by 3 , y decreases by 4 , and as x decreases by 3 , y increases by 4 .
