The measure of the angle ∠PQR is 90 degrees
<h3>How to prove that ∠PQR is 90 degrees?</h3>
The equation of the line PQ is given as:
3x - y - 2 = 0
The coordinates of the QR are given as:
(0, -2) and (6, -4)
Make y the subject in 3x - y - 2 = 0
y = 3x - 2
The slope of the above line is
m1 = 3
Next, we calculate the slope (m2) of points Q and R.
So, we have:
m2 = (y2- y1)/(x2 - x1)
This gives
m2 = (-4 + 2)/(6 - 0)
Evaluate
m2 = -1/3
The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals.
m1 = 3 and m2 = -1/3 are opposite reciprocals.
This means the lines PQ and QR are perpendicular lines.
The angle at the point of perpendicularity is 90 degrees
Hence, the measure of the angle ∠PQR is 90 degrees
