Question

Is the equation parallel perpendicular or neither ? y = 5/4 x+1 and y = 5/4 x-7

Answer 1

Answer:

Parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Both given equations are in this form, that is

y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x + 1 → m = $\frac{5}{4}$

y = $\frac{5}{4}$ x - 7 → m = $\frac{5}{4}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes thus the lines are parallel
