Determine whether the graphs of the two equations are parallel perpendicular or neither. Explain

OpenStudy (notamathgenius):

2x - 5y =0 \[y + 3 = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (notamathgenius):

The first one i think is Parallel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They are perpendicular to each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second one is parallel to the x axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

While the first one is not paralle with either that y or x axis

The slanted on is the first one The straight one is the second one

OpenStudy (notamathgenius):

So i got it right then? 1.Neither 2.Perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure the second equation isn't y+3 = (5/2)x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No the fist one is perpendicular and the second one is parallel to the x axis

OpenStudy (notamathgenius):

I did it exactly how it was written

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1368728047294:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the second equation is y+3 = (5/2)x, then the two graphs are perpendicular to each other. If the second equation is y+3=5/2 then the two graphs are not related.
