Question 58

Here are the equations of 5 straight lines.

P:y=2x+5 P: y = 2x + 5 P:y=2x+5 Q:y=−2x+5 Q: y = -2x + 5 Q:y=−2x+5 R:y=x+5 R: y = x + 5 R:y=x+5 S:y=−12x+6 S: y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 6 S:y=−21​x+6 T:y=12x+1 T: y = \frac{1}{2}x + 1 T:y=21​x+1

Write down the letter of the line that is parallel to y=x+6y = x + 6y=x+6 and the letter of the line that is perpendicular to y=2x−1y = 2x - 1y=2x−1
