QuestionDetermine if the lines , , and are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The equations of the three lines are given as follows Line1
Line
Line3
. 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 is .
The slope of Line1 is .
STEP 3
Next, we need to rewrite the equations of Line2 and Line3 in the form to find their slopes.
For Line2, we can rewrite the equation as followsSo, the slope of Line2 is .
STEP 4
For Line3, we can rewrite the equation as followsSo, the slope of Line3 is .
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 , the slope of Line2 is , and the slope of Line3 is .
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.
