Two lines y_1,y_2 are perpendicular if their slopes are in a relation m_1=-\frac{1}{m_2}.

So we need to find slopes and if the above relation holds then we can claim the lines are perpendicular.

To find slopes, use slope formula

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

The first slope of a line passing through PQ is

m_1=\frac{-13-(-9)}{6-2}=\frac{-4}{4}=-1

The second slope of a line passing through RS is

m_2=\frac{-1-(-5)}{5-1}=\frac{4}{4}=1

Now check if m_1=-\frac{1}{m_2} is true

-1=-\frac{1}{1}\implies -1=-1

This means the two lines <em>are</em> perpendicular.

Hope this helps.

We are given with an isosceles triangle having a vertex on the curve given y =<span>27-x^2</span> .
The area of the triangle, A= xy = x (27-x^2) 
A' = 27-x^2-2x^2 = 0 
x = 3

<h2>Solving Equations with Absolute Values</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

x = 7 and x = -1

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Solving for the Positive Absolute Value:

|x -3| = 4 \\ x -3 = 4 \\ x -3 +3 = 4 +3 \\ x = 7

Solving for the Negative Absolute Value:

|x -3| = 4 \\ -(x -3) = 4 \\ -(x -3) \cdot -1 = 4 \cdot -1 \\ x -3 = -4 \\ x -3 +3 = -4 +3 \\ x = -1
