Answer:

C) They are perpendicular lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find the slope of the graph of the lines passing through these points using:

m =  \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The slope of the line that passes through (−12, 15) and (4, −5) is

m_{1} =  \frac{ - 5 - 15}{4 -  - 12}

m_{1} =  \frac{ - 20}{16}  =  -  \frac{5}{4}

The slope of the line going through (−8, −9) and (16, 21) is

m_{2} =  \frac{21 -  - 9}{16 -  - 8}

m_{2} =  \frac{21  + 9}{16  + 8}

m_{2} =  \frac{30}{24}  =  \frac{5}{4}

The product of the two slopes is

m_{1} \times m_{2} =  -  \frac{4}{5}  \times  \frac{5}{4}  =  - 1

Since

m_{1} \times m_{2} =  - 1

the two lines are perpendicular.
