Question
Is the line x – 3y = 4 perpendicular to the line 3x – y = 7?
✓
Answer
x − 3y = 4
3y = x − 4
$y=\frac{1}{3} \times-\frac{4}{3}$
Slope of this line $=\frac{1}{3}$
3x − y = 7
y = 3x - 7
Slope of this line = 3
Product of slopes of the two lines = 1 ≠ -1
So, the lines are not perpendicular to each other.
