Re: 10 second questions

Hi bobbym,

The solutions to 2235 and 2236 are perfect. Very good!

#2237. Show that the straight lines x-2y=0 and 2x+y+1=0 are perpendicular to each other.

#2238. Is the straight line x=2y parallel to 2x-4y+7=0?

#2239. Find the equation of the straight line whose intercepts on the axes are given by 1/3 and 2/5 respectively.
