Find k if the lines 3x-5y=9 & 2x+ky=11 are a) parallel and b)perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by definition, parallel lines have the same slope. so to do so, for each equation, solve for y and get slope. k must be set such that their slopes are identical to make them parallel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by definition, product of slopes of perpendicular lines yield -1. so set k to such number.
