The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the lines represented by the equations \(2x - 3y = 6\) and \(\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 1\) are parallel or perpendicular, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the equations to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) **Equation 1: \(2x - 3y = 6\)** 1. Rearrange the equation to isolate \(y\): \[ -3y = -2x + 6 \] \[ y = \frac{2}{3}x - 2 \] Here, the slope \(m_1 = \frac{2}{3}\). **Equation 2: \(\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 1\)** 2. Multiply through by 6 to eliminate the fractions: \[ 3x + 2y = 6 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2y = -3x + 6 \] \[ y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3 \] Here, the slope \(m_2 = -\frac{3}{2}\). ### Step 2: Determine the relationship between the slopes 3. Check if the lines are parallel or perpendicular: - Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal: \(m_1 = m_2\). - Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is \(-1\): \(m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1\). Calculating the product of the slopes: \[ m_1 \cdot m_2 = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \cdot \left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) = -1 \] ### Conclusion Since the product of the slopes is \(-1\), the lines are perpendicular to each other. ### Summary of Steps: 1. Convert each equation to slope-intercept form. 2. Identify the slopes of both lines. 3. Check the relationship between the slopes to determine if they are parallel or perpendicular.
