Is y=-(1/3)x+2 perpendicular, parallel, or neither?
Is y-11=3(x-6) perpendicular, parallel, or neither?
Is y=(1/3)x-15 perpendicular, parallel, or neither?
For the equation of line 1: y = -(1/3) + 2 It has a slope of m = -1/3
For line 2: y - 11 = 3 (x - 6) y = 3x -7 It has a slope of m = 3
For line 3: y = (1/3)x -15 It has a slope of m = 1/3
Line 1 and Line 2 are perpendicular since their slopes are negative reciprocal of each other. Any other combinations are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
