12 and 13

DK4L:

So you're graphing it or saying if it's parallel or perpendicular?

darkknight:

very easy way to do this is to solve both eqns for y, then if the slope is a negative reciprocal then the lines are perpendicular and if slope is the same then the lines are parallel

DK4L:

But wouldn't 12 be neither?

DK4L:

their slopes are not the same and not opposite reciprocals

Riverdale!!

darkknight:

first line has slope of -2

darkknight:

2y = x-3 y = 1/2x - 3/2 1/2 and -2 are opposite reciprocals (for 12)

mdobbs6856:

Thx!

darkknight:

now try 13

mdobbs6856:

Is it parallel?

darkknight:

-3y = x+6 so y = -1/3x-2 that is the slope for the second one (for 13)

darkknight:

you tell me, if slope is opposite reciprocals is it parallel or perpendicular?

mdobbs6856:

perpendicular

darkknight:

good job : )

mdobbs6856:

thank you!
