Question

Determine if the two lines with the given slope are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Circle your

Answer 1

Answer:

As the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Therefore, the correct answer is ''neither''.

Hence, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m₁ = 3/2

m₂ = -3/2

We know that when two lines are parallel, they have equal slopes

But

m₁ ≠ m₂

3/2 ≠ -3/2

As the m₁ and m₂ are not equal.

Hence, the lines are not parallel.

We know that when two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1.

Let us check the product of two slopes m₁ and m₂

m₁ × m₂ = 3/2 × -3/2

              = -9/4

              = -2.25

As

m₁ × m₂ ≠ -1

Thus, the lines are not perpendicular.

Conclusion:

As the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Therefore, the correct answer is ''neither''.

Hence, option C is correct.
