How can we tell if two lines are parallel perpendicular or neither just from their equations?
If the slope of the equations are the same then they are parallel If the slope of the equations are minus reciprocal then they are perpendicular If the slope of the equations are different then they are neither
What makes 2 equations perpendicular?
Technically, equations are never perpendicular to one another. However, the equations of lines can result in their lines being perpendicular. Using y=mx+b, to have a perpendicular line, you have the negative reciprocal of m.
What makes two linear equations either parallel or perpendicular to each other?
Depending on the value of the slope or gradient if its the same then they are parallel if its a reciprocal then they are perpendicular.
How do you know if two non-vertical lines are perpendicular?
They are perpendicular if their slopes are mutual negative reciprocals.
What is parallel perpendicular lines look like?
As far as we know, two lines can be perpendicular, or they can be parallel, but they can't be both.

Are perpendicular lines considered nonlinear?
No, two lines perpendicular to each other are wriiten as two separate equations. Both are linear.
Can two perpendicular equations have different y-intercepts?
If 2 equations are perpendicular to one another they can have different y-intercepts, depending on how they are situated on a (x,y) graph.
If a system of linear equations has exactly one solution then the two lines are what?
perpendicular

How do you know if two non-vertical lines are perpendicular?
They are perpendicular if their slopes are mutual negative reciprocals.
Determine whether the graphs of the equations are parallelperpendicular or neither?
Base on the slope of two linear equations (form: y = mx+b, where slope is m): - If slopes are equal, the 2 graphs are parallel - If the product of two slopes equals to -1, the 2 graphs are perpendicular. If none of the above, then the 2 graphs are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
What does perpendicular look like?
Perpendicular is when two lines cross and form a right angle, which I hope you know what that is.
What is parallel perpendicular lines look like?
As far as we know, two lines can be perpendicular, or they can be parallel, but they can't be both.
Is y equals -4x plus 1 perpendicular?
It is perpendicular to a family of other linear equations: of the form 4y = x + c
How do you know if two line segments are perpendicular?
their slopes are negative reciprocals.
