Question

Would lines Y=5x+2and 2y-10x=-8 be perpendicular parallel or neither? I just need a brief explanation with the answer

Answer 1

To find the answer to this question the first step is to solve both equations for y, the first is already solved, so we only need to do this with the second one.

`\begin{gathered} 2y-10x=-8 \\ 2y=10x-8 \\ y=(10x-8)/(2) \\ y=5x-4 \end{gathered}`

According to this, both equations have the same slope, it means that they are parallel lines.
