Find the slope and y-intercept for each linear equation and determine if the graphs of the pair are parallel, perpendicular, concurrent (but not perpendicular), or coincident.

Find the slope and yintercept for each linear equation and determine if the graphs of the pair are parallel perpendicular concurrent but not perpendicular or co class=


Answer :

Notice that the slope and y-intercept of each line are

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-2x+10 \\ \Rightarrow slope=-2,y-intercept=10 \\ and \\ y=2x-5 \\ \Rightarrow slope=2,y-intercept=-5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The y-intercepts are different; therefore, the two lines cannot be coincident; furthermore, their slopes are not the same so they cannot be parallel lines.

Finally, two lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is equal to -1; in our case,

[tex]\begin{gathered} -2*2=-4\ne-1 \\ \Rightarrow\text{ the lines are not perpendicular} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the answer is that they are concurrent lines.
