<h2>Answer: Lines b & c are parallel.⇄</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
- When lines are perpendicular, the product of their slope is -1 (the slopes are negative reciprocal).
- When lines are parallel, they have the same slope.
Slope = ( y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Slope of Line b = ( 6 - 1 ) ÷ ( 1 - 9 )
= 5 ÷ (- 8)
= - ⁵/₈
Slope of Line c = ( 12 - 7 ) ÷ ( 2 - 10 )
= - ⁵/₈
⇒ Line b ║ Line c
