QuestionDetermine if the lines y=43x5y=\frac{4}{3} x-5, 8x6y=68 x-6 y=6, and 3y=4x+73 y=4 x+7 are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equations of the three lines are given as follows Line1 y=43x5y=\frac{4}{3} x-5 Line 8x6y=68 x-6 y=6 Line3 3y=4x+73 y=4 x+7
. Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.
3. Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.
4. If neither of these conditions is met, the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the slopes of the given lines. The slope of a line in the form y=mx+cy=mx+c is mm.
The slope of Line1 is 4\frac{4}{}.

STEP 3

Next, we need to rewrite the equations of Line2 and Line3 in the form y=mx+cy=mx+c to find their slopes.
For Line2, we can rewrite the equation as follows8x6y=6y=3x18x -6y =6 \Rightarrow y = \frac{}{3}x -1So, the slope of Line2 is 3\frac{}{3}.

STEP 4

For Line3, we can rewrite the equation as follows3y=4x+7y=43x+733y =4x +7 \Rightarrow y = \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{7}{3}So, the slope of Line3 is 43\frac{4}{3}.

STEP 5

Now that we have the slopes of all three lines, we can compare them to determine whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
The slope of Line1 is 43\frac{4}{3}, the slope of Line2 is 43\frac{4}{3}, and the slope of Line3 is 43\frac{4}{3}.

STEP 6

Since all three lines have the same slope, they are all parallel to each other.
Therefore, for each pair of lines, they are parallel.
