Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine whether the given pairs of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we need to find the slopes of each line.
-
Line 1:
- Solving for :
- The slope of Line 1 is .
-
Line 2:
- The equation is already in slope-intercept form (), so the slope of Line 2 is .
-
Line 3:
- Solving for :
- The slope of Line 3 is .
Analyzing the Pairs:
- Line 1 and Line 2: Both lines have the same slope , so they are parallel.
- Line 1 and Line 3: The slopes are and . The product of these slopes is: Since the product is 1, these lines are perpendicular.
- Line 2 and Line 3: Similarly, the slopes are and , making these lines perpendicular as well.
Final Answers:
- Line 1 and Line 2: Parallel
- Line 1 and Line 3: Perpendicular
- Line 2 and Line 3: Perpendicular
