Q:

L1 y= - 4/3x+3 and L2 y=5/4x-3 Are parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting (neither)?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:the lines are intersectingStep-by-step explanation:We can immediately eliminate the possibility of a parallel pair of lines because one of the slopes of the lines is negative guiding us towards the answer being perpendicular/intersecting. But the lines aren't perpendicular either. This is because of a pair of lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the opposite of each other. For example, a perpendicular line for y= -4/3x+3 could be y=4/3x-3. The y intercept does not effect the lines from being perpendicular or parallel at all. So we conclude with the choice that the lines can only be intersecting.If you are confused by anything at all, don't be afraid to ask :)
