Explanation Given Information: The provided equation of the lines are 3 x − 4 y = 12 and 8 x − 6 y = 15 . The slope-intercept form of the line, y = m x + c Where, m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on y -axis. Parallel lines: The two lines, L 1 : y = m 1 x + c 1 and L 2 : y = m 2 x + c 2 are parallel only when the slope of these two lines are equal or both the lines are perpendicular to x -axis the that is, m 1 = m 2 Perpendicular lines: The two lines, L 1 : y = m 1 x + c 1 and L 2 : y = m 2 x + c 2 are perpendicular only when the multiplication of the slope of these two lines are equal to − 1 that is, m 1 m 2 = − 1 If one line is vertical with equation x = a then other line is horizontal with equation y = b . Consider the provided equations of the line, 3 x − 4 y = 12 and 8 x − 6 y = 15 In order to determine whether the equation of the lines is parallel, perpendicular or neither calculate the slope of the lines. Consider the first equation, 3 x − 4 y = 12 Write the equation 3 x − 4 y = 12 in slope intercept form as, Subtract, 3 x on both the sides of the equation 3 x − 4 y = 12 , 3 x − 4 y − 3 x = − 3 x + 12 − 4 y = − 3 x + 12 Multiply by ( − 1 4 ) on both the sides of the equation − 4 y = − 3 x + 12 , − 1 4 ( − 4 y ) = − 1 4 ( − 3 x + 12 ) y = 3 4 x − 12 4 = 3 4 x − 3 Thus, y = 3 4 x − 3 Now, compare the equation y = 3 4 x − 3 with standard slope-intercept form of the equation y = m x + c

Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.
