Question

Are the lines parallel, perpedicular or neither?

y = -1/2x - 7

4x + 8y = 1

Answer 1

are slopes equal or not ?

Answer 2

Parallel lines have the same slope, perpendicular lines have a slope that is a negative inverse.

Answer 3

@gypsy1274 so its perpendicular

Answer 4

what is slope of 1st line?
2nd line?

Answer 5

Solve the second equation for y, then answer @dumbcow's questions above to find the answer to your question.

Answer 6

@dumbcow they are parallel because eq1:-1/2 and so is eq2

Answer 7

yep :)
