Answer:
Given equation are:
......[1]
.....[2]
- The two lines are parallel lines then their slopes will be equal.
- When two lines are perpendicular then, the slope of lines are the negative reciprocals of each other.
Now, Equation of a line is in the form of y =mx+b where m is the slope of the line.
Slope of equation of line in [1] is;
then;
Slope of equation of line in [2];
Add both sides 2x we get;
-2x + 8y + 2x = 2x + 4
Simplify:
8y = 2x +4
Divide both sides by 8 we get;
then;
Therefore, the given two lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
