<h3>Answer: The lines are perpendicular</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the two given points.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - (-5))/(6 - (-7))

m = (-4 + 5)/(6 + 7)

m = 1/13

The slope of the line through the two given points is 1/13.

This is not equal to -13, which was the slope of the first line, so the two lines are not parallel.

However, the two lines are perpendicular because multiplying the two slope values leads to -1

(slope1)*(slope2) = (-13)*(1/13) = -1

note: It might help to think of -13 as -13/1 to help multiply the fractions.

How does 1/12 - 5/6 = 9/12 um tring to learn how to add this like ?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

1/12 - 5/6 = -9/12

We need to get a common denominator of 12

1/12 - 5/6*2/2 = -9 /12

1/12 - 10/12 = -9/12

Since the denominators are the same, we can subtract the numerators

1-10 = -9

-9/12 = - 9/12

We can simplify -9/12 by dividing the top and bottom by 3

-9/3 = -3

12 /3 = 4

-9/12 = -3/4
