b. Lines b & c are parallel
c. Lines a & c are perpendicular
d. Lines b & c are perpendicular

Answer 1

ok first set all of the equations like, y=mx+b

Answer 2

Line A: y= -2x-4
Line B: y= -0.5x-5
Line C: y= 0.5x-3

Answer 3

yass

Answer 4

ok so what would parallel n perpendicular mean?

Answer 5

Will Lines B&C be parallel?

Answer 6

well parallel would be the exact slope

Answer 7

So they are a perpendicular?

Answer 8

no perpendicular means opposite in sign n its flipped

Answer 9

I'm confused

Answer 10

ok perpendicular is, 6/5 and -5/6

Answer 11

get it?

Answer 12

Yes, I get that but the problem is where I am confused

Answer 13

ok you have, -1/2 and 2 and 1/2, which ones are perpendicular?

Answer 14

2 and 1/2

Answer 15

no it would be 2 and -1/2 or -2 and 1/2, get it?

Answer 16

ohhh okay now I get it

Answer 17

so whats ur answer now, for you problem?

Answer 18
