iPad Photos deleting

I want to relieve my iPad of 7G storage space. If I delete most of my photos in Photos, will they also be deleted from my iCloud storage? I do not want to lose them forever.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Back the photos up to your computer before you delete them. I don't use iCloud Photo Library, but I believe that if you delete them off of one device, there are deleted everywhere. Never, ever totally trust the cloud. Apple recommends doing this as well. See the very last part of this article.
