Question

Determine which of the lines, if any, are parallel or perpendicular. Explain. line a passes through 2,10 and 4,13 line b passes through 4,9 and 6,12 line c passes through 2,10 and 4,9

Answer 1

Answer: Lines a and b are parallel

Explanation:

The slope of line a is
`(13-10)/(4-2)=(3)/(2)`.

The slope of line b is
`(12-9)/(6-4)=(3)/(2)`.

The slope of line c is
`(10-9)/(2-4)=-(1)/(2)`.

Since lines a and b have the same slope, they are parallel.
