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.

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 do you determine if they are parallel perpendicular or neither?

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.


What does the words oblique lines mean in maths?

Lines that are neither parallel nor perpendicular.


Does perpendicular have parallel lines?

= parallel + perpendicular As such no, perpendicular lines do not naturally have parallel lines. However...connect the lines in the symbols below. ++ ++ And you'll have 4 perpendicular lines, and 4 parallel lines.

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


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.


What is Perpendicular and Parallel?

Perpendicular is when two lines cross... Parallel is when two lines never meet.... _____________ _____________ = PARALLEL LINES If they cross they are perpendicular, if they don't, they are parallel.
