Question

Are the lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

One line passes through the points (3, 2) and (6, 8), and the other line passes through the points (0, 2) and (2, 6).

Answer 1

Parallel

Explanation:

Slope of line 1:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

8 - 2 / 6 - 3

6/3

= 2

Slope of line 2:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

6 - 2 / 2 - 0

4/2

= 2

- Since the slope is the same, both the lines are parallel.
