Determine all values of c so that the lines cy5x7 and cy3x6
Determine all values of c so that the lines cy+5x=7 and cy-3x=6 are perpendicular.
Solution
cy+5x=7
y = (-5/c)x +7/c
and cy-3x=6
y = (3/c)x +6/c
When lines are perpendicular their slope are such :m1*m2 =-1
(3/c)(-5/c) = -1
15 = c^2
c = sqrt(15) , - sqrt(15) (Solution)
