Question

Tell whether the lines for the pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Answer 1

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of parallel lines are equal.

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals

y = -1/4x - 1 has a slope of -1/4

y = -4x + 1 has a slope of -4

-1/4 and -4 are not equal nor negative reciprocals.

Note:  Negative reciprocals have a product of -1.  -1/4(4) = 1 not -1.  

Therefore , they are not negative reciprocals.
