Decide whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither.
x + 4y = 7 and 4x – y = 3
Answers
Answer:
hii
your answer is here !
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 4y = 7
4y = -x + 7
y = (-1/4) x + 7
Slope of the equation x + 4y = 7 is -1/4.
Again, 4x – y = 3
y = 4x – 3
Slope of the equation 4x – y = 3 is 4.
Since multiplying both the slope of the equation = -1/4 × 4 = -1
Therefore, the given two equations are perpendicular to each other.
Answer: Perpendicular
follow me !
Given
x + 4y = 7
x/7 + y/(7/4) = 1
so point p = (7,7/4)
x = 7 and y = 7/4
4x - y = 3 ----(1
LHS
4x - y
put value of x and y
28 - 7/4
(112 - 7)/4
105/4
since LHS not equal to RHS
so both line are not parallel
we know that
y = mx + C
Now
X + 4y = 7
y = 7/4 - x/4
m1 = -1/4
equation 2
4x - y = 3
y = 4x - 3
m2 = 4
for condition of perpendicular
M1*M2 = -1
LHS
-1*4/4
-1
Hence LHS = RHS
so two line are perpendicular
