Problem

Determine whether the two lines below are parallel, perpendicular or neither. \[ \begin{array}{l} -x+y=14 \\ 3 x+3 y=2 \end{array} \] parallel perpendicular neither

Solution

Step 1 :Given two lines: \(-x+y=14\) and \(3x+3y=2\)

Step 2 :Rewrite the equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope.

Step 3 :The first equation becomes \(y = x + 14\), so the slope (m1) is 1.

Step 4 :The second equation becomes \(y = -x + \frac{2}{3}\), so the slope (m2) is -1.

Step 5 :Compare the slopes. If the slopes are equal, the lines are parallel. If the product of the slopes is -1, the lines are perpendicular.

Step 6 :The slopes are not equal (1 \neq -1), so the lines are not parallel.

Step 7 :The product of the slopes is not -1 (1 * -1 \neq -1), so the lines are not perpendicular.

Step 8 :Since the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular, the final answer is \(\boxed{\text{neither parallel nor perpendicular}}\)
