Answer 1

Answer:

lines are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

• The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines = - 1

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange the given equations into this form and extract the slope

3x - 2y = - 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 2y = - 3x - 6 ( divide through by - 2 )

y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

----------------------------------

4x + 6y = 2 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

6y = - 4x + 2 ( divide through by 6 )

y = - [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex] , that is

y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

--------------------------------------

[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ≠ - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] , then lines are not parallel

[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] × - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = - 1

Thus the lines are perpendicular to each other
