Question

For the pair of linear equations given below, draw graphs and then state, whether the lines drawn are parallel or perpendicular to each other.
2x - 3y = 6
`x/(2) + y/(3) = 1`

Graph

Solution

To draw the graph of 2x - 3y = 6 and `x/(2) + y/(3) = 1` follows the steps:
First prepare a table as below:

X -1 0 1
Y = `(2)/(3) xx 2` `-(8)/(3)` -2 `-(4)/(3)`
Y = `-(3)/(2) xx + 3` `(9)/(2)` 3 `(3)/(2)`

Now sketch the graph as shown:

From the graph it can verify that the lines are perpendicular.
