trying to figure out if lines are parallel or perpendiculr through slopes and y intercepts. Well the main thing that you want to look at is the slope. If the lines are parallel they will have the same slope. If the lines are perpendicular one will have a negative reciprical of the other line for a slope. I hope I helped you(:
