Question

Tell whether the lines for each pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
 
3x - 5y = 3
-5x + 3y = 8

anonymous · Answer

slope of $ax+by=c$ is $-\frac{a}{b}$
compute both of these.  you will see that one is the negative reciprocal of the other.

anonymous · Answer

so is it perpendicular

anonymous · Answer

so i had it right @Chlorophyll lol

lgbasallote · Answer

negative reciprocal? i thinkim seeing just reciprocal lol

a.
parallel
b.
perpendicular
c.
neither

lgbasallote · Answer

first equation: -a/b = -3/-5 = 3/5

second equation: -a/b = -(-5)/3 = 5/3

so what do you think?

anonymous · Answer

Hint: they're NOT: equal 
        they're NOT reciprocal ( m1 * m2 ≠ -1)

anonymous · Answer

@davonnn Common, you can do it :)

anonymous · Answer

so neither ?

lgbasallote · Answer

yep..it's neither yayy

anonymous · Answer

Why neither including "?" :'(
