To determine whether the pairs of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting, we need to analyze their slopes based on the equations provided.
-
For the first pair:
-
\( y - 6 = 14(x + 2) \)
- Rearranging gives: \[ y = 14x + 28 + 6 -> y = 14x + 34 \]
- The slope of the first line is \( m_1 = 14 \).
-
\( y = -4x - 10 \)
- The slope of the second line is \( m_2 = -4 \).
-
Since the slopes \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are neither equal (which would indicate parallel lines) nor the product of the slopes equals -1 (which would indicate perpendicular lines), these lines are intersecting.
-
-
For the second pair:
-
\( 2x - y = 7 \)
- Rearranging gives: \[ y = 2x - 7 \]
- The slope of the first line is \( m_1 = 2 \).
-
\( 3x - 4y = -8 \)
- Rearranging gives: \[ 4y = 3x + 8 \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x + 2 \]
- The slope of the second line is \( m_2 = \frac{3}{4} \).
-
Since \( m_1 \cdot m_2 = 2 \cdot \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{2} \), which is not -1, and the slopes are not equal, these lines are also intersecting.
-
-
For the third pair:
-
\( y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 7 \)
- The slope is \( m_1 = -\frac{2}{3} \).
-
\( -2x - 3y = 12 \)
- Rearranging gives: \[ 3y = -2x - 12 \implies y = -\frac{2}{3}x - 4 \]
- The slope of the second line is \( m_2 = -\frac{2}{3} \).
-
Since \( m_1 \) is equal to \( m_2 \), the lines are parallel.
-
In summary:
- The first pair is intersecting.
- The second pair is intersecting.
- The third pair is parallel.
