Question

Show that lines x – 2y – 7 = 0 and 2x − 4y + 15 = 0 are parallel to each other

Sum

Solution

Let m1 be the slope of the line x – 2y – 7 = 0.

∴ m1 = `(-"coefficient of x")/"coefficient of y" = (-1)/(-2) = 1/2`

Let m2 be the slope of the line 2x − 4y + 15 = 0 .

∴ m2 = `(-"coefficient of x")/"coefficient of y" = (-2)/(-4) = 1/2`

Since m1 = m2,

the given lines are parallel to each other.
