Considering the slope of the lines, it is found that the lines going through the points are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
<h3>When are lines parallel, perpendicular or neither?</h3>
The slope, given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>, 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 = (5 - 3)/(-2 - 8) = -2/10 = -1/5 = -0.2.
- m2 = (-10 - (-5))/(-1 -(-2)) = -5/1 = -5.
The multiplication is of 1, not -1, hence they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
