To determine whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we need to compare their slopes.
The first equation is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where the slope (m) is -4.
The second equation can be rewritten in slope-intercept form by rearranging: -2x + 8y = 5 --> 8y = 2x + 5 --> y = (2/8)x + 5/8
The slope (m) of the second equation is (2/8) or (1/4).
Since the slopes are not the same and not negative reciprocals of each other, the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Tell whether the lines for each pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. y = –4x + 3 –2x + 8y = 5 (1 point) Responses parallel perpendicular neither
