Question

State whether the given set of lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither.Line A has points (2,5) and (5,9) Line B has points (-1,-1) and (2,3)The lines are? Answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The lines are parallel

Explanation:

Let us check the slope of each line

For (2, 5) and (5, 9)

The slope is:

(9 - 5)/(5 - 2)

= 4/3

For (-1, -1) and (2, 3)

The slope is:

(3 -(-1))/(2- (-1))

= (3 + 1)/(2 + 1)

= 4/3

The slopes are the same for each line, therefore, the lines are parallel
