Answer:
Parallel lines: Line B and C
Perpendicular lines: Line A and B; Line A and C
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, we only need to find the slope of each equation. The formula for slope is attached in a picture.
LINE A
Substituting the first line into the formula, we will get...
(2 - 5)/(0 -(-4))
-3/4
LINE B
Substituting the second line's points into the formula we will get...
(2 - 6)/(3 - 6)
-4/-3
4/3
LINE C
Substituting the third line's points into the formula we will get...
(3 -(-1)/(0 -(-3))
4/3
So, parallel lines have the same slope, right? Since line b and line c have the same slope, they are parallel.
And, perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, right? (reciprocal means x/y -> y/x) Since -3/4 and 4/3 are negative reciprocals of each other, they are perpendicular.
Therefore...
Parallel lines: Line B and C
Perpendicular lines: Line A and B; Line A and C
