3x - 4y = 7
-(3x + 2y = -5)
= 0 - 6y = 12
-6y = 12
y = -2
The resulting equation would be y = -2.
Answer is parallel lines
Reason - same slope (3x) and different y intercept means they will be parallel lines because their slope is the same but they will cross the y axis at different points.
I changed the first equation to y intercept form
y = 3x - 10 to match the other equation
y = 3x - 6
Not necessarily, the more correct definition is opposite reciprocal slopes.
The example used is how horizontal and vertical lines are parallel. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0, also written as 0/1. However, vertical lines have an undefined slope, which isn't necessarily negative. It has a slope of 1/0, which is undefined. In this case, the reciprocal isn't negative.
In all other cases (1 and -1, 2 and -1/2, etc.) yes, the perpendicular pairs are negative and reciprocal.
