Question

Given below are descriptions of two lines.

Line 1: Goes through (-6,-3) and (0,5)
Line 2: Goes through (-6,-5) and (-3,-1)
The slope of Line 1 is m =
The slope of Line 2 is m =

Finally, which of the following is true?
O Line 1 is parallel to Line 2.
O Line 1 is perpendicular to Line 2
O Line 1 is neither parallel nor perpendicular to Line 2

Answer 1

The slope of line 1 is -4/3.

The slope of line 2 is 2/3.

Line 1 is neither parallel nor perpendicular to line 2.

Explanation:

firstly we find slope using two point formula .

The lines are said to be parallel when their slopes are equal.The lines are said to be perpendicular when the product of their slope is -1. Hence, line 1 is neither parallel nor perpendicular to line 2.
