Question

1. Determine whether line KM and line ST are Parallel, Pers

Line KM has a slope of 5/8
Line ST has a slope of -8/5

Answer 1

Since the slope of KM and ST are different, they are not parallel

Explanation:

Slope of line KM =
`(5)/(8)`

Slope of ST =
`-(8)/(5)`

Determine whether the lines are perpendicular;

Solution:

We can use the slope of a line to determine whether they are perpendicular or parallel to one another.

Parallel lines do not meet one another

Perpendicular lines cross one another at an angle of 90°

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are the same;

Since the slope of KM and ST are different, they are not parallel
