Question

state whether the lines represented by the equations y=1/2x-1 and y+4=-1/2(x-2) are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Answer 1

Parallel because they have the same slope. Y+4= -1/2(x-2) is in point slope form, simplified to y intercept form is y=1/2-5... The slope (m) in both equations is the same, if you graphed the equations they would be parallel
