Add or subtract numbers from both sides
So to solve this question, your goal is to find out how the way it is solved is not correct.
Your answer would be: On the third line, the student adds the 8 to both sides instead of subtracting. The way the initial equation is given is
y-(-8)=-6(x-2). After distributing the six, the student should make the 8 positive because subtracting a negative makes a positive. After solving, the equation should look like: y(+8)=-6x+12, so you would subtract the 8 from both sides instead of adding it, and solve from there.

Answer:
the lines are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
You can tell something by looking at the differences of coordinates:
B-A = (6-2, -11-5) = (4, -16) . . . . . Δy/Δx = -16/4 = -4
D-C = (-1-3, 9-10) = (-4, -1) . . . . . Δy/Δx = -1/-4 = 1/4
The product of the slopes of these lines is (-4)(1/4) = -1, so ...
the lines are perpendicular
Your not my bestieeee but the answer from me is unkown i jus want to be able to answer one question :)
