Question

Determine whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. 5x + 2y = 14 and y = −5x + 9

Answer 1

Answer: Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = 14

2y = -5x + 14

y = -5/2 x + 7; slope m = -5/2

y = –5x + 9 ; slope m = -5.

Parallel lines slopes are equal and perpendicular slopes are opposite and reciprocal.

So both lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular

Answer

C. Neither.
