Which do the following equations represent? -4x-5y=-4 and 10x-8y=-1

parallel?
perpendicular?
equal?
none of above?

Parallel have same slope
Perpendicular have opposite reciprocal slopes. Ex. 2/3 is slope of one line so the perpendicular line would have slope of -3/2.

Find slopes of these lines.

-4x-5y=-4
-4x+4 =5y
Divide by 5

Y= -4x/5 +4/5

Second line: 10x-8y=-1

10x+1=8y
Divide by 8

10x/8 +1/8 =y

Y= 5x/4 +1/8

So if you look at slope of line 1= -4/5 and line 2 it’s 5/4 so these both are perpendicular.

What’s the equation you are trying to solve to get x?
