Question

Tell whether the lines through the given points are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Answer 1

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope for both lines.

m= slope

Line 1: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

2-5/4-6

=-3/-2

m=3/2

Line 2: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

8-(-1)/2-(-8)

m=9/10

These lines are neither parallel or perpendicular because they don't have the same slope (parallel lines), and they don't have opposite reciprocal slopes either (perpendicular lines).
