Determine whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. x+2y=-3 6x+6y=0

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

We solve for y in each of them to get y=-x/2 - 3/2 y = -x Now is it clearer to see if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

parallel?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

No. Now that we have the lines in slope-intercept form, we can easily see the slope as -1/2 for the first line, and -1 for the second line.Since these aren't equal, the lines aren't parallel. Also, they aren't perpendicular because their reciprocals aren't equal. Thus, they are Neither.

you should multiply vectors

the result of multiply is 18
