Are the following two lines parallel, perpendicular, neither, or the same line?
3x+4y = 2
4x+3y = 2
what are they?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

Manipulate the formulas into slope-intercept form which is [tex]y=mx+b[/tex].

In order for them to be parallel, m needs to be the same. Perpendicular, m for one needs to be the negative reciprocal of the other [tex]m=-\frac{1}{m}[/tex].

Let's see what we get.

(1)

[tex]3x+4y=2\\4y=-3x+2\\y=-\frac{3}{4}x+1/2[/tex]

(2)

[tex]4x+3y=2\\3y=-4x+2\\y=-\frac{4}{3}x+2/3[/tex]

They are reciprocals, but they are both negative. So, they are not the same line, perpendicular, nor parallel.

Also, you can graph these equations on desmos and see easily that they have none of these relationships.
