Perpendicular lines
Intersecting, but not perpendicular lines

Answer 1

The lines are perpendicular lines

What are equations?

Equations are expressions that are represented with the equality "=" sign

The equations are given as:

• $y - 8 = (x + 5)$

• $y - 8 = -(x + 5)$

Make y the subject of formula in both equations

$y = x + 13$

$y = -x + 3$

By comparing the slopes of both lines, we have:

$1 \times -1 = -1$

The above equation means that:

The slopes of both lines are opposite reciprocal

Hence, the lines are perpendicular lines
