That depends on the specific situation. You may want to measure angles (perpendicular lines are at a right angle, i.e., 90°). If you have equations for line, write them in the slope-intercept form. Parallel lines have the same slope. If lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1.

How do you determine if 2 lines are parallel perpendicular or neither?

Two lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. If neither of these conditions are met, the lines are nether parallel, or perpendicular.


How can you determine whether the two points are neither parallel nor perpedicular?

Points cannot be parallel or perpendicular. So they never are.


How do you determine if lines are parallel perpendicular or neither?

In two dimensions: They are parallel if their gradients are the same. They are perpendicular if the product of their gradients is -1. Otherwise they are neither. The nature of the question suggests that you have not yet studied lines in 3 or more dimensions.

A rhombus has opposite equal parallel sides


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


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.


Is y equals 5x plus 3 parallel or perpindicular?

Neither: because one line, by itself, can be neither parallel or perpendicular. These characteristics are relevant only in the context of another line (or lines). The given line is parallel to some lines and perpendicular to others.


Is 5x 2y9 and 5x 2y2 parallel perpendicular or neither?

If they have the same slope, they are parallel. The slopes are the same, so yes they are parallel.
