Answer:

m = 4 or m = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

length between 2 points = √(difference of x)² + (difference of y)²

AB² = (m - (-2))² + (5 - 3)² = (m + 2)² + 4 = m² + 4m +8

AC² = ((-1) - (-2))² + (0 - 3)² = 10

AB² = 4AC²

m² + 4m +8 = 40

m² + 4m - 32 = 0

(m - 4) (m + 8) = 0

m = 4 or m = -8

<h3>What is an intersecting lines?</h3>

A link is known to be intersecting if two or more lines are said to have cross one another in a given plane.

Note that the intersecting lines are known to be one that often share a common point, and it is one that can be seen on all the intersecting lines, and it is known to be the point of intersection.

Looking at the image attached, you can see how plane A and line c intersecting at all points on line c and also GM and GH and line CD and plane X as they are not intersecting
