If two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are always, sometimes, or never parallel

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

let \[\large y=m_1x+b_1 \] \[\large y=m_2x+b_2 \] \[\large y=m_3x+b_3 \] say lines 1 and 2 are both perpendicular to line 3 so \[\large m_1m_3=m_2m_3=-1 \] so \[\large m_1m_3=m_2m_3 \] then \[\large m_1=m_2 \]
