Question

Are the lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither? One line through the points (3, 2) and (6, 8), and another line through the points (0, 2) and (2, 6).

Answer 1

Perpendicular

Explanation:

Answer 2

Parallel.

Explanation:

Let's find the slope of each line.

One through the points (3,2) and (6,8):-

Slope = rise / run = (8-2)/(6-3)

= 6/3 = 2

The other line:-

Slope = (6-2)(2-0)

= 4/2 = 2

The slopes are the same so the 2 lines are parallel.
