Question

Determine if the equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither

y = 3x + 5 and y = -1/3x +6
Answer:

Answer 1

Answer: Perpendicular.

Explanation:

If you multiply the slopes together you will get -1:

`3 * -(1)/(3) = -1`

Parallel means they have the same slope, so that is easily ruled out here.
