Determine whether the graphs of the given equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Explain.
To find: Whether the provided equations are perpendicular, parallel or neither.
Answer to Problem 8P
The equations are perpendicular.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The equation is:
Concept used:
Two equations are said to be perpendicular if their slopes are not equal.
Calculation:
The slope of the line
Similarly,
The slope of the line
Since, the slope of the two lines are opposite of each other. Thus, it could be said that these two lines are perpendicular.
