You can tell if lines are perpendicular or not by seeing if meet in a right angle. A right angle is like a square, and the lines would have to be 90 degrees.

One example is when the two lines (horizontal and vertical) meet each other at the ends.

(You MUST make sure that they are directly horizontal and vertical. If not, they will either be acute or obtuse).

I hope this helped!

Answer:

When two lines are interested to from a right angel

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Y=-2X - 5 so the slope is -2.

Answer:

C. $\frac{12}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope when you know two points, use this formula:

M = y₂ - y₁ ÷ x₂ - x₁

M = (4 - (-8)) ÷ (0 - (-7))

M = 12 ÷ 7

M = $\frac{12}{7}$

Hope that helps.

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

First I would write out the points of the x and y intercepts and then I would write out an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). From there I would move my terms accordingly to make it into standard form and compare my answer! Hope this helped!
