Question

Tell whether the pair of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. %0D%0A%0D%0Ay = 3/4x + 7 and 4x - 3y = 9%0D%0A%0D%0A(1 point)%0D%0AThe lines are %0D%0A.

Answer 1

To determine whether the two lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we can compare the slopes of the lines.

First, let's put the second equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
4x - 3y = 9
-3y = -4x + 9
y = (4/3)x - 3

Comparing the equations, we see that the slope of the first line is 3/4 and the slope of the second line is 4/3.

Since the product of the slopes is not -1, the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
