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.
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.
How do you know if two lines are perpendicular?
When the lines intersect at a 90º angle
