Question

Is each line parallel, perpendicular, or neither parallel nor perpendicular to a line whose slope is 2/5

Drag each choice into the boxes to correctly complete the table. Parallel perpendicular neither Line m, with slope 5/2 Line n, with slope -5/2 Line p, with slope 2/5 Line q, with slope -2/5

Answer 1

see below

Step by Step

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes (flip and change sign)

line m- neither (5/2 is the reciprocal of 2/5 but not the opposite reciprocal)

line n- perpendicular (-5/2 is the opposite reciprocal of 2/5 so it is perpendicular)

line p- parallel (same slope)

line q- neither

Answer 2

m=neither, n=perpendicular, p=parallel, q=neither
