Question

Which statement best explains the relationship between lines CD and FG?

Answer 1

B

calculate the slopes m of the 2 lines using the gradient formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = C(- 2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(0, - 4 )

$m_{CD}$ = $\frac{-4-4}{0+2}$ = $\frac{-8}{2}$ = - 4

repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = F(- 4, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = G(4, 2 )

$m_{GF}$ = $\frac{2-0}{4+4}$ = $\frac{2}{8}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$

The 2 lines are perpendicular because their slopes are negative reciprocals
