Determine which lines, if any, are parrell or perpindicular
linea= y=4x
line B= y=-1/4x
line c= y= 4x-1
I think line B and A are parrell.
Am I correct?
Please help me, thank you.
I'll help.
Lines a and c are parallel. For lines to be parallel, their slope must be equal. These 2 lines both have slopes of 4. Line b is perpendicular to the others, because it's slope, -1/4, is the opposite (in terms of sign) reciprocal of 4 (which is positive, -1/4 is negative). I hope this helped. Peace out.
To determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular, we need to compare their slopes.
For Line A: y = 4x, the slope (m) is 4.
For Line B: y = -1/4x, the slope (m) is -1/4.
For Line C: y = 4x - 1, the slope (m) is 4.
If two lines have the same slope, then they are parallel. In this case, Line A (slope = 4) and Line C (slope = 4) have the same slope and are parallel.
So your answer is incorrect. Line A (y = 4x) and Line C (y = 4x - 1) are parallel, not Line A and Line B.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
