Question

Which best describes the relationship between the line that passes through the points

Answer 1

Perpendicular (A)

Explanation:

First find the gradient of the first line:

Change in y/ Change in x = -7-(-2)/ -9-(-12) = -5/3

Now find the gradient of the second line:

9-6/1-6 = -3/-5 = 3/5

When we multiply the gradient of two perpendicular lines we will get:

m1 x m2 = -1

If we multiply 3/5 and -5/3 we will get -1

Therefore it is perpendicular!
