Question

w(-3,3), x(6,4), y(6,-4) z(8,-6) determine weather wx and yz are paralell, perpindicular, or neither. PLEASE PLEEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

Answer:

Neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

    Parallel lines have equivalent slopes while perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. (Opposite meaning different signs and reciprocal meaning flipped fraction)

• Ex: 3/4 → -4/3

$wx:~m=\frac{4-3}{6-(-3)}\\wx:~m=\frac{1}{9}\\\\yz:~m=\frac{-6-(-4)}{8-6}\\yz:~m=\frac{-2}{2}\\yz:~m=-1$

These lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
