Question

Ignore the stuff around it ,could someone explain me this?

Answer 1

Answer:

The lines blue and green are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is -1)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

step 1

Find the slope of the blue line

we have the points

(-1,-3) and (0,3)

substitute

$m=\frac{3+3}{0+1}$

$m=\frac{6}{1}=6$

step 2

Find the slope of the red line

we have the points

(3,-3) and (4,2)

substitute

$m=\frac{2+3}{4-3}$

$m=\frac{5}{1}=5$

step 3

Find the slope of the green line

we have the points

(-4,-1) and (2,-2)

substitute

$m=\frac{-2+1}{2+4}$

$m=-\frac{1}{6}$

step 4

Compare the slopes

Blue line ----> $m=6$

Red line ----. $m=5$

Green line ---> $m=-\frac{1}{6}$

so

The slope of the blue line and the green line are opposite reciprocal ( their product is equal to -1)

therefore

The lines blue and green are perpendicular
