Give the slope of each line and the determine whether the two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel or perpendicular. Separate answers with a comma.
3x5y=1
5x+3y=2
Solution
Two lines are
(a) 3x5y=1
(b) 5x+3y=2
for (a) 3x5y=1
change the equation into the standard form
first solve for y = (3x + 1) / 5
which gives slope m1 = 3/5
y; intersept (b) is (1/5)
for (b) 5x+3y=2
change the equation into the standard form
first solve for y = (-5x + 2) / 3
which gives slope m2 = -5/3
y; intersept (b) is (2/3)
Relatiomn b/w the slope is
Property = Lines that are perpendicular have negative reciprocal slopes.
(such as m = 2 with m = -1/2)
similarly m1 = 3/5 , m2 = -5/3
