Text: Determine if the lines defined by the given equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular. Equations: 1. -4x - 5y = -4 2. -x = (5/4)y + 4
Added by Erika D.
Step 1
Equation 1: -4x - 5y = -4 Rearrange the equation to solve for y: -5y = 4x - 4 Divide both sides by -5: y = (-4/5)x + 4/5 Equation 2: -x = (5/4)y + 4 Rearrange the equation to solve for y: (5/4)y = -x - 4 Divide both sides by (5/4): y = (-4/5)x - 16/5 Show more…
