STEP 1

What is this asking? We're checking if lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, and then writing equations for lines perpendicular to a given line through a specific point. Watch out! Don't mix up parallel and perpendicular!
Parallel lines have the *same* slope, while perpendicular lines have *negative reciprocal* slopes.

STEP 2

1. Analyze the first set of equations.
2. Analyze the second set of equations.
3. Tackle the perpendicular line equation problem.

STEP 3

Alright, let's look at problem 13!
We've got y=x+11y = x + 11 and y=x+2y = -x + 2.
Remember, the **slope** is the number multiplying xx.

STEP 4

In the first equation, the slope is **1**.
In the second, it's **-1**.
Since 1 and -1 are negative reciprocals of each other (meaning 11=11 \cdot -1 = -1), these lines are **perpendicular**!

STEP 5

Next up, problem 14: y=34x1y = \frac{3}{4}x - 1 and y=34x+29y = \frac{3}{4}x + 29.

STEP 6

Both equations have a slope of 34\frac{\mathbf{3}}{\mathbf{4}}.
Same slope?
That means these lines are **parallel**!

STEP 7

Now for problem 15: y=2x+3y = -2x + 3 and 2x+y=72x + y = 7.
We need to rewrite the second equation in slope-intercept form.

STEP 8

Subtracting 2x2x from both sides of 2x+y=72x + y = 7 gives us y=2x+7y = -2x + 7.

STEP 9

Now we can see both lines have a slope of 2\mathbf{-2}.
So, these lines are also **parallel**!

STEP 10

Problem 16: y4=3(x+2)y - 4 = 3(x + 2) and 2x+6y=102x + 6y = 10.
Let's get both into slope-intercept form.

STEP 11

First equation: distribute the 3 to get y4=3x+6y - 4 = 3x + 6, then add 4 to both sides: y=3x+10y = 3x + 10.
The slope is **3**.
Second equation: subtract 2x2x from both sides to get 6y=2x+106y = -2x + 10, then divide by 6: y=13x+53y = -\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3}.
The slope is 13-\frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{3}}.

STEP 12

Since 3 and 13-\frac{1}{3} are negative reciprocals, these lines are **perpendicular**!

STEP 13

Problem 17: y=7y = -7 and x=2x = 2. y=7y = -7 is a horizontal line with a slope of **0**, and x=2x = 2 is a vertical line with an *undefined* slope.

STEP 14

Horizontal and vertical lines are always **perpendicular**!

STEP 15

Lastly, problem 18: y=4x2y = 4x - 2 and x+4y=0-x + 4y = 0.
Let's rewrite the second equation.

STEP 16

Add xx to both sides of x+4y=0-x + 4y = 0 to get 4y=x4y = x, then divide by 4: y=14xy = \frac{1}{4}x.

STEP 17

The first line has a slope of **4**, the second has a slope of 14\frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{4}}.
Since these are *not* negative reciprocals, these lines are **neither** parallel nor perpendicular.

STEP 18

Problem 13: **Perpendicular**.
Problem 14: **Parallel**.
Problem 15: **Parallel**.
Problem 16: **Perpendicular**.
Problem 17: **Perpendicular**.
Problem 18: **Neither**.
