Decide wether the lines p1 and p2 are perpendicular,parallel or neither? Line p1:3y-4x=3 Line p2: 4y+3x=-12

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

First,solve for y for both these functions.

OpenStudy (nerdy_3000):

Will it equal y?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

you have a "y" and an "x" variable there, you can solve for y.

OpenStudy (nerdy_3000):

I mean if you subtract 3y from 4y you'll get 1y or y

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

no no, you're not subtracting it from both, you're solving each one separately.

OpenStudy (nerdy_3000):

Do you divide by 3 from the 3y

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

yes

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

and you move the 4x over too

OpenStudy (nerdy_3000):

Over where??

OpenStudy (nerdy_3000):

For that I got they are both perpendicular

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Yep :) you are right

OpenStudy (nerdy_3000):

Hey can you help me with one more?

OpenStudy (nerdy_3000):

Line p1: y-6x=2 Line p2:6y-x=1
