Determine whether the graphs of the pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. $2 x + 6 y = 1 , y = \frac { 1 } { 3 } x$
A) parallel
B) neither
C) perpendicular

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of the first equation is -1/3 and the slope of the second equation is 1/3. Since the slopes are not equal and not negative reciprocals of each other, the graphs are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
