Answer 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope for Line m:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two points on the graph: (-4. 3) and (0,-4)

$\text {Slope = } \dfrac{3- (-4)}{-4 - 0} = -\dfrac{7}{4}$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope for Line n:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two points on the graph: (1, 2) and (3, -2)

$\text {Slope = } \dfrac{2 - (-2)}{1-3} = -\dfrac{4}{2} = -2$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope for Line k:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two points on the graph: ( -3 , -3) (4 , 1)

$\text {Slope = } \dfrac{1 - (-3)}{4 - (-3)} = \dfrac{4}{7}$

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Since M and N do not have the same slope, they are not parallel.
 
Answer: The slope of K is the negative reciprocal of M, therefore they are perpendicular.
