Determine whether the lines $L _ { 1 } : y = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } x - 3$ and $L _ { 2 } : y = - \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + 4$ are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
A)neither
B)parallel
C)perpendicular

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slopes of both lines $L_1$ and $L_2$ are $-\frac{1}{2}$, indicating they are parallel since parallel lines have equal slopes.
