Question

Tell whether the lines for each pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
y= (-1/5)x + 6
-2x + 10y=5

A. parallel
B. perpendicular
C. neither

Answer 1

Put both equations into "y=mx+b" form. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

the answer is neither because when both are put in the form y=mx+b the slopes are -1/5 and 1/5

Answer 3

parallel lines have the same slope and perpendicular lines have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal
