Question

The equations of two lines are given. Determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

8x - 7y = 6
8x - y = -8

Answer 1

8x-7y=6

or, -7y=-8x+6

or, y=8x/7-6/7

so the slope is 8/7

8x-y=-8

or, -y=-8x-8

or, y=8x+8

So the slope is 8

Both has different slope and they don't satisfy the property of being perpendicular to each others, so they're neither parallel nor perpendicular.
