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

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.


Can oblique lines be parallel?

No, oblique lines are neither parallel nor 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.

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 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.
