Question

The equations of two lines are x - 3y = 6 and y = 3x + 2. Determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither.

parallel
perpendicular
neither

Answer 1

Put both lines in the same form.
I'll change the first line to say y=1/3x-2

The slopes of the two lines are 1/3 and 3. Does that help you answer.

Answer 2

Ok so they are perpendicular?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Since the fractions are opposites. I see thank you :)

Answer 5

The x-intercept of the line whose equation is 2x - 3y = 6
Is it three?

Answer 6

Oops...the slopes must be the opposite and inverse. These aren't. I'd correct myself to say these are neither.

Answer 7

yes...the x-intercept is 3...o r(3,0)

Answer 8

Oh ok I fixed it :)

Answer 9

k

Answer 10

Thanks. I am trying to make corrections on a quiz that i took and i got a 67 on it. So i am trying to find what i got wrong on it
