Math Problem Statement

Determine if the equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither; and write the equations of the graph in slope-intercept form.

Solution

Let's work through the problems step-by-step.

Problems 11-16: Determine if the equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

  1. Problem 11:

    • Equations: y=3x+6y = -3x + 6 and y=13x8y = \frac{1}{3}x - 8
    • Slopes: -3 and 1/3
    • Answer: Perpendicular (because the slopes are negative reciprocals).
  2. Problem 12:

    • Equations: y=54x+1y = \frac{5}{4}x + 1 and y=54x7y = \frac{5}{4}x - 7
    • Slopes: Both are 5/4
    • Answer: Parallel (because the slopes are identical).
  3. Problem 13:

    • Equations: 3x+2y=63x + 2y = 6 and y=32x+5y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 5
    • Rewrite 3x+2y=63x + 2y = 6 in slope-intercept form: 2y=3x+6y=32x+32y = -3x + 6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3
    • Slopes: Both are -3/2
    • Answer: Parallel (same slopes).
  4. Problem 14:

    • Equations: 3y=4x+153y = 4x + 15 and 9x+12y=129x + 12y = 12
    • Rewrite both in slope-intercept form: y=43x+5y = \frac{4}{3}x + 5 and y=34x+1y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 1
    • Slopes: 4/3 and -3/4
    • Answer: Perpendicular (slopes are negative reciprocals).
  5. Problem 15:

    • Equations: 10x2y=1610x - 2y = 16 and x+5y=20x + 5y = -20
    • Rewrite both in slope-intercept form: y=5x8y = 5x - 8 and y=15x4y = -\frac{1}{5}x - 4
    • Slopes: 5 and -1/5
    • Answer: Perpendicular.
  6. Problem 16:

    • Equations: 5x+3y=35x + 3y = 3 and 3x+5y=253x + 5y = -25
    • Rewrite both in slope-intercept form: y=53x+1y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 1 and y=35x5y = -\frac{3}{5}x - 5
    • Slopes: -5/3 and -3/5
    • Answer: Neither (not equal or negative reciprocals).
