Question

Which two lines are parallel? Which two lines are perpendicular?

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines = - 1

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

All the equations given are in slope- intercept form

y = 2x + 1 → with m = 2

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 4 → with m = $\frac{1}{2}$

y = x + 1 → with m = 1

y = - $\frac{1}{x}$ x - 3 → with m = - $\frac{1}{2}$

y = 10 + x → y = x + 10 → with m = 1

Thus

y = x + 1 and y = 10 + x are Parallel since both have m = 1

y = 2x + 1 and y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 3 are Perpendicular since 2 × - $\frac{1}{2}$ = - 1
