Question

Which word describes the relationship of the points (3, 1)

and (3, 6)?
OA) collinear
OB) parallel
C) perpendicular
OD) coincident

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A) collinear

Explanation:

"Parallel" and "perpendicular" are descriptors of pairs of lines and planes. They do not apply to pairs of points.

The two points have different coordinates, so are distinct, rather than coincident.

Of these words, the only applicable choice is "collinear."

Additional comment

Any pair of distinct points is collinear. Two points define a line, and two points on the same line are collinear.
