2x + y = 2

Select one:
A. The lines have the same y-intercept.
B. The lines have the same x-intercept.
C. The lines are perpendicular.
D. The lines are parallel.

Answer 1

If you put the equations into a \[y = mx + b\] then you will find your answer

Answer 3

????????????

Answer 4

now if you look at the slopes you will find your answer

Answer 5

wait how?

Answer 6

We know that MX is our slope and we also see that the slopes are reciprocal (mean you flip the fractions and multiply by -1 ) of each other which usually means that they are perpendicular

Answer 7

so its perpendicular?

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

thank you :)
