1. **Determine if the lines are parallel (\(\parallel\)), perpendicular (\(\perp\)), or neither (N).**
Recall:
- Lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.
- Lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is \(-1\).
- Otherwise, they are neither.
**a.** \(y=4x\), \(y=4x-4\)
- Both slopes are 4.
- Since slopes are equal, lines are parallel: \(\parallel\).
**b.** \(y=\frac{1}{2}x-2\), \(y=2x\)
- Slopes: \(\frac{1}{2}\) and 2.
- Product: \(\frac{1}{2} \times 2 = 1 \neq -1\).
- Not perpendicular, slopes not equal, so neither: N.
**c.** \(y=-x\), \(y=x-1\)
- Slopes: \(-1\) and 1.
- Product: \(-1 \times 1 = -1\), so perpendicular: \(\perp\).
**d.** \(y=x+7\), \(y=x-7\)
- Both slopes 1.
- Parallel: \(\parallel\).
**e.** \(y=\frac{3}{4}x+5\), \(y=\frac{4}{3}x-8\)
- Slopes: \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{4}{3}\).
- Product: \(\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{3} = 1 \neq -1\).
- Neither: N.
**f.** \(y=3x+2\), \(y=-\frac{1}{3}x\)
- Slopes: 3 and \(-\frac{1}{3}\).
- Product: \(3 \times -\frac{1}{3} = -1\), perpendicular: \(\perp\).
**g.** \(y=\frac{1}{4}x-2\), \(y=\frac{1}{4}x+3\)
- Both slopes \(\frac{1}{4}\).
- Parallel: \(\parallel\).
**h.** \(y=2x+5\), \(4x - 2y + 6 = 0\)
- Rearrange second: \(4x - 2y + 6 = 0 \Rightarrow -2y = -4x - 6 \Rightarrow y = 2x + 3\)
- Both slopes 2.
- Parallel: \(\parallel\).
**i.** \(x + y = 4\), \(y = x - 3\)
- First: \(y = -x + 4\), slope \(-1\).
- Second slope 1.
- Product \(-1 \times 1 = -1\), perpendicular: \(\perp\).
**j.** \(y=\frac{1}{2}x - 4\), \(x - 2y + 1 = 0\)
- Rearrange second: \(x - 2y + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow -2y = -x - 1 \Rightarrow y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{2}\)
- Both slopes \(\frac{1}{2}\).
- Parallel: \(\parallel\).
**k.** \(y=6\), \(y=2\)
- Both horizontal lines, slope 0.
- Parallel: \(\parallel\).
**l.** \(y=4\), \(y=-4\)
- Both horizontal, slope 0.
- Parallel: \(\parallel\).
**m.** \(y=7\), \(x=-7\)
- First horizontal (slope 0), second vertical (undefined slope).
- Horizontal and vertical lines are perpendicular: \(\perp\).
**n.** \(x=\frac{1}{2}\), \(x=-\frac{1}{2}\)
- Both vertical lines.
- Parallel: \(\parallel\).
**o.** \(y=5\), \(x=7\)
- Horizontal and vertical lines.
- Perpendicular: \(\perp\).
**n.** (second n) \(y=x\), \(y=2x\)
- Slopes 1 and 2.
- Product \(1 \times 2 = 2 \neq -1\), not equal.
- Neither: N.
**p.** \(y=\frac{1}{3}x\), \(y=-3x\)
- Slopes \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(-3\).
- Product \(\frac{1}{3} \times -3 = -1\), perpendicular: \(\perp\).
**q.** \(y=0.5x\), \(y=\frac{1}{2}x\)
- Both slopes \(\frac{1}{2}\).
- Parallel: \(\parallel\).
**r.** \(y=-\frac{2}{3}x\), \(y=\frac{3}{2}x\)
- Product \(-\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{2} = -1\), perpendicular: \(\perp\).
**s.** \(y=4\), \(y=2x\)
- Slopes 0 and 2.
- Product 0, not -1, slopes not equal.
- Neither: N.
