Solution
To determine whether each pair of lines is parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we need to find the slopes of the lines. Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal, and perpendicular if the product of their slopes is .
Let's analyze each line:
1. Find the slope of each line:
Line 1:
To find the slope, we'll rewrite this in slope-intercept form ():
Simplifying:
The slope () of Line 1 is .
Line 2:
This is already in slope-intercept form. The slope () is .
Line 3:
Rewrite this in slope-intercept form:
The slope () of Line 3 is .
2. Compare slopes to determine relationships between lines:
-
Line 1 and Line 2: Slopes are and .
These lines are perpendicular.
-
Line 1 and Line 3: Slopes are and .
These lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
-
Line 2 and Line 3: Slopes are and .
The product of slopes:
These lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Conclusion:
- Line 1 and Line 2: Perpendicular
- Line 1 and Line 3: Neither
- Line 2 and Line 3: Neither
