Tell whether the lines for the pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. y = -4/5x + 3 4x - 5y = -15

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+-4%2F5x+%2B+3+and+4x+-+5y+%3D+-15 <--- Therefore - The lines are perpendicular.
As perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles :)
@shelbygt520 I couldn't find the question on there :c @charlotte123 Thank you so much ^-^
No problem! Glad I could help!!!
lol sorry @elliecosme I wish I could have been of more help
Haha don't worry about it ^-^
it's neither. second equation in point-slope form would be: y=4/5x+3 in order to be perpendicular the slope will have to be 5/4x
