What is the relationship between the lines with the following equations? 2x + 8y = 16. y = 4x + 7 The lines are parallel The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular The lines are perpendicular The lines are the same

Respuesta :

Answer:

(C)The lines are perpendicular

Explanation:

First, we make y the subject of the equation in 2x + 8y = 16.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+8y=16 \\ 8y=-2x+16 \\ y=-\frac{2}{8}x+\frac{16}{8} \\ y=-\frac{1}{4}x+2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The slope of the line = -1/4

In the line y=4x+7, the slope of the line = 4

[tex]-\frac{1}{4}\times4=-1[/tex]

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes = -1.

Therefore, the lines are perpendicular.
