Considering their slopes, these two lines, Line 1 and Line 2, are perpendicular.
When are lines parallel, perpendicular or neither?
The slope, given by change in y divided by change in x, determines if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, as follows:
- If they are equal, the lines are parallel.
- If their multiplication is of -1, they are perpendicular.
- Otherwise, they are neither.
In this problem, the slopes are given as follows:
- m1 = (4 - (-5))/(1 - (-2)) = 3.
- m2 = (4 - 6)/(6 - 0) = -1/3.
The multiplication is given by:
3 x -1/3 = -1.
Hence they are perpendicular.
