- Slope Formula:

So remember that <u>perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other</u> and <u>parallel lines have the same slope.</u> To find out if they are either parallel or perpendicular, plug the pair of points into the slope formula to find their slopes:

Since these slopes aren't the same nor are they negative reciprocals to each other, <u>the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.</u>
Answer: Hello! After being distributed, your answer should be 10x-20y+40z, hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation: First multiply 5 and 2x and get 10x, then multiply 5 and 4y and get 20y, and lastly, multiply 5 an 8z and get 40z!
