Question
For each pair of equations, determine whether their graphs are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. See Example 6$$\begin{aligned}&y=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{4}{5}\\&y=0.5 x+3\end{aligned}$$
Step 1
The slope of a line in the form y = mx + b is m. So, for the first line, y = 1/2x - 4/5, the slope is 1/2. For the second line, y = 0.5x + 3, the slope is 0.5. Show more…
