Question

8x-2y =4 and x+4y = -12Determine if the given equations are parallel perpendicular or neither

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations:

`\begin{gathered} 8x-2y=4 \\ \\ x+4y=-12 \end{gathered}`

We are required to determine if the equations are parallel of perpendicular.

We need to rewrite both equations in the form:

`y=mx+b`

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If the slopes of both equations are the same, and the y-intercepts are different, then the lines are parallel.
