Question

y=3x+6 and 3y=x+2 determine whether the lines are parallel, perpend or neither

Answer 1

see if you can find the slope of both lines; comparing the slopes will answer your question.

Answer 2

-2 is what I came up with for the slope would the perp slope be 1/2

Answer 3

The point-slope equation of a line is given by \[y=mx+b\] where m is the slope. One of your equations is already in this form.

Answer 4

Oops that's slope-intercept, not point-slope :)

Answer 5

slope on y=3x+6 slope is 3 and slope of other one is 1/3

Answer 6

Right; parallel lines have the same slope, right?

Answer 7

But perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another

Answer 8

correct so they are parallel

Answer 9

\[3\neq \frac{1}{3}\]

Answer 10

parallel lines have equal slopes

Answer 11

oh ok so they are neither because the do not have equal slopes and are not negative reciprocals

Answer 12

:D

Answer 13

thanks!
