Are lines y equals 2x and y 2x equals 3 perpendicular or parallel?
If the second equation is: y minus 2x equals 3, then:y - 2x = 3 ⇒ y = 2x + 3 and it is parallel to y = 2x.Otherwise (with with missing operator as "plus", "multiply" or "divide"), the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
How do you graph parallel and perpendicular lines?
If you want to graph parallel lines, they need to have the same slope (Ex. 2x+2 and 2x+3)- parallel lines cannot have the same y-intercept because the two line would be the same. Perpendicular lines slopes need have to be opposite reciprocals (Ex. -2x+4 and +1/2x+3)- perpendicular lines can have the same y-intercepts, it doesn't make a difference.
What does slopes of parallel and perpendicular mean?
When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. For example:y=5x-3 andy=5x+9These lines are parallel, because they have the same slope.When two lines are perpendicular they have negative reciprocal slopes. For example:y=2x-6 andy=-1/2x+2These lines are parallel, because they have negative or opposite reciprocal slopes.
What is the equation of a line that passes through 3 -4 and is perpendicular to 5x -2y equals 3 on the Cartesian plane?
Perpendicular slope: -2/5 Perpendicular equation: y--4 = -2/5(x-3) => 5y--20 = -2x-3 => 5y = -2x-14 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 2x+5y+14 = 0
What kind of lines are y equals 2X plus 4 and X plus 2Y equals twelve?
The lines are mutually perpendicular.
