Well let's see.

If the figure is split up into 10 pieces, then
each piece is 1/10 of the whole figure.

If 2 of the pieces are shaded, then
2/10 of the whole figure is shaded.

How many pieces are left ?

There were 10 pieces all together, and
2 of them are shaded. Hmmm. I think
there are probably (10 - 2) = 8 of them left
that are not shaded.

8 pieces makes 8/10 of the whole figure.

Answer:

A. Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines are perpendicular if their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other. Opposite, meaning if positive, the other slope is negative, and if negative, the other slope is positive. Reciprocal meaning, the number is flipped upside down, turning fractions into whole numbers and vice versa.
