Answer:
r = 0, s = 1
The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equations are:
2r + 6s = 6........(1)
6r + 2s = 2........(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3
6r + 18s = 18........(3)
Subtract equation (2) from equation (3)
16s = 16
s = 16/16
s = 1
Substitute s = 1 into equation (2)
6r + 2(1) = 2
6r + 2 = 2
6r = 2 - 2
6r = 0
r = 0/6
r = 0
Make r the subject of the formula in equation (1)
2r = -6s + 6
r = -3s + 6
The slope of the line represented by equation (1) = -3
Make r the subject of the formula in equation (2)
6r = -2s + 2
r = (-2/6)s + (2/6)
r = (-1/3)s + 1/3
The slope of the line represented by equation (2) = -1/3
As seen above, the slope are not equal and are not negative inverses of each other. therefore, the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular
