Which statement is true about the graphs of the two lines y=-x+2 and y=-x- ? O The lines are perpendicular to each other because - and - are opposite reciprocals of each other.
The lines are perpendicular to each other because 2 and - 1 are opposite reciprocals of each other.
O The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other because - and are not opposite reciprocals
of each other.
The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other because 2 and - 3 are not opposite reciprocals of
each other.

The correct option is Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the lines:

The lines are perpendicular if they have opposite slopes i,e

In line 1 the slope is (Comparing with slope-intercept form we get the value of m=-4/5)

In line 2 the slope is (Comparing with slope-intercept form we get the value of m=-5/4)

The opposite reciprocal of -4/5 is 5/4  

So, the lines are not perpendicular as their slopes are not opposite reciprocal of each other.

If the lines are parallel there slope must be same. Hence lines are not parallel as well.

So, The correct option is Option C

step-by-step explanation:

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
