the slope of parallel lines is the same
and the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1
:)
try doing it now
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do I solve this?
OpenStudy (danjs):
both left sides are the same, with a different right
parallel
imqwerty (imqwerty):
do u know how to find out slope?
OpenStudy (danjs):
if the coefficients on the x and y term are some multiple from one line to the other, parallel

y=mx+b?
is slope intercept form
imqwerty (imqwerty):
yes the m is the value of slope here
try to convert the equations to this form to find out the slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so for example for 5x=2y=7
putting it into slope intercept form would be:
2y=5x+b?
pooja195 (pooja195):
Nope
y=mx+b is slope intercept form
imqwerty (imqwerty):
u have to isolate y
so u shuld divide by 2 all over :)

Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
OpenStudy (danjs):
yes, compare slopes
or
direction vectors
