Relationship between lines
Neither parallel nor perpendicular
Evaluate
x+y=7,2x−y=2
Write the equation in slope-intercept form
More Steps

Evaluate
x+y=7
Move the expression to the right side
y=7−x
Rearrange the terms
y=−x+7
y=−x+7,2x−y=2
Write the equation in slope-intercept form
More Steps

Evaluate
2x−y=2
Move the expression to the right side
−y=2−2x
Divide both sides
y=−2+2x
Rearrange the terms
y=2x−2
y=−x+7,y=2x−2
Since the line is in slope-intercept form, the coefficient −1 is the slope of the line
−1,y=2x−2
Since the line is in slope-intercept form, the coefficient 2 is the slope of the line
−1,2
The slopes are different, so the lines aren't parallel. We'll multiply the slopes to check their relationship
−2
