Determine whether the two lines are parallel perpendicular c

Determine whether the two lines are parallel, perpendicular, coinciding, or only intersecting. 5x-6y=42 y=5/6^x-7 Choose the correct answer below. parallel perpendicular only intersecting coinciding

Solution

Answer:

The lines are given by

5x - 6y = 42 => 6y = 5x - 42 => y = (5/6)x - 7 ------ ( 1 )

and y = (5/6)x - 7 ------ ( 2 )

Since both lines are of same slope m = 5/6

Hence the lines ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) are parallel
