Question

Consider the following two lines.
Line 1: Passes through (3,3) and (3,-3)
Line 2: Passes through (-5,2) and (-10,2)

The slope of Line 1 is m=m=    

The slope of Line 2 is m=m=    

Finally, which of the following is true?

Line 1 is parallel to Line 2

Line 1 is perpendicular to Line 2

Line 1 is neither parallel nor perpendicular to Line 2

Consider the following two lines.
Line 1: Passes through (-9,4) and (1,4)
Line 2: Passes through (-2,-2) and (1,-2)

The slope of Line 1 is m=m=    

The slope of Line 2 is m=m=    

Finally, which of the following is true?

Line 1 is parallel to Line 2

Line 1 is perpendicular to Line 2

Line 1 is neither parallel nor perpendicular to Line 2

Consider the following two lines.
Line 1: Passes through (-12,4) and (-6,-1)
Line 2: Passes through (0,-2) and (-20,-26)

The slope of Line 1 is m=m=    

The slope of Line 2 is m=m=    

Finally, which of the following is true?

Line 1 is parallel to Line 2

Line 1 is perpendicular to Line 2

Line 1 is neither parallel nor perpendicular to Line 2

Explanation / Answer

1) line 1 (3,3) and (3,-3)
Line 2: (-5,2) and (-10,2)

finding slope of each line

m1 = ( -3 -3 ) / ( 3 - 3 ) = undefined

m2 = ( 2 - 2 ) / ( -10 + 5) = 0

the two slopes are negative reciprocal of ech other

hence , line 1 is perpendicular to line 2

2nd option is correct
