The problem asks us to determine whether pairs of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. We need to analyze the slopes of the lines. Parallel lines have equal slopes. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other (their product is -1).

1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to determine whether pairs of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. We need to analyze the slopes of the lines. Parallel lines have equal slopes. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other (their product is -1).
2. Solution Steps
Problem 7:
The given lines are and .
The slopes are and .
The product of the slopes is .
Since the product of the slopes is -1, the lines are perpendicular.
Problem 8:
The given lines are and .
The slopes are and .
The slopes are not equal, so the lines are not parallel.
The product of the slopes is .
Since the product of the slopes is not -1, the lines are not perpendicular.
Thus, the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Problem 9:
The given lines are and .
We need to rewrite the first equation in slope-intercept form ().
can be rewritten as .
The slopes are and .
The slopes are not equal, so the lines are not parallel.
The product of the slopes is .
Since the product of the slopes is not -1, the lines are not perpendicular.
Thus, the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Problem 10:
The given equation is . It seems there is a missing 'y=' before . Also, the second equation is cut off. I cannot solve this problem with the information given.
3. Final Answer
7. Perpendicular
8. Neither
9. Neither
