Answer:

Line A m = 2

Line B m = -1/2

Lines that are negative reciprocals are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Choose two points from each line.

2. Calculate the slope of each line using formula m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

3. Check for negative reciprocals

Line A:

Point 1 (1, 1)       x₁ = 1    y₁ = 1

Point 2 (2, 3)     x₂ = 2   y₂ = 3

Substitute the information into the formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m = \frac{3-1}{2-1}

m = \frac{2}{1}

m = 2

Line B:

Point 1 (0, 4)       x₁ = 0    y₁ = 4

Point 2 (8, 0)     x₂ = 8   y₂ = 0

Substitute the information into the formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m = \frac{0-4}{8-0}

m = \frac{-4}{8}

m = \frac{-1}{2}

The slopes are 2 and -1/2. Since they are negative reciprocals to each other, Line A is perpendicular to Line B.

The negative reciprocal of a number is switching its top and bottom fraction, then changing the negative/positive.

2 in fraction form is \frac{2}{1}.

Switched top and bottom is \frac{1}{2}

Changed negative sign is -\frac{1}{2}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 2= 50

angle 1= 180-50= 130 degrees (linear pair (sum 180))

angle 3= 130 degrees (vertically oposite angles are equal)

angle 6= 130 degrees (alternate interior angles)

angle 5= 180-130= 50 degrees (linear pair)

i hope this helps :)
