Answer 1

Answer:

• False

Step-by-step explanation:

Line a

• y = 5x - 6, it has slope of 5

Line b

• x + 5y = 5

Rewrite in slope-intercept form to find its slope:

• 5y = -x + 5
• y = -1/5x + 1
• It has slope of -1/5

Lines have different slopes: 5 and -1/5, therefore are not parallel

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to the question provided is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

‣We are going to have to find the value of y for line b.

‣We are going to solve its equation.

$x + 5y = 5 \\ \frac{- x \: \: \: \: \: = - x}{ \frac{5y}{5} = \frac{ - x + 5}{5} } \\ y = - \frac{1}{5} x+ 1$

‣So we have:

$y = 5x - 6 \\ and \\ y = - \frac{1}{5} x + 1$

‣Remember that a slope is parallel to another slope if it has the same slope.

‣A slope is perpendicular to another slope if it has a negative reciprocal.

‣The slopes we have don't have the same slope, but they are perpendicular.
