Question

Which best describes the relationship between the lines with equations – 7x + 2y = 3 and

Answer 1

The association between the given lines is that they are 'neither perpendicular nor parallel.'

To prove, let's convert the given equations in their slope-intercept form i.e. 'y = mx + b'

-7x + 2y = 3

2y = 7x + 3

y = 7/2x + 3/2

-6x + 3y = 2

3y = 6x + 2

y = 2x + 2/3

This shows that both the lines have different slopes, as well as, intercepts of y. And,

$m_{1} * m_{2}$ = 2 * 7/2 ≠ -1

Thus, it is not perpendicular also.

Therefore, option D i.e. 'neither perpendicular nor parallel' is the correct answer.
