Answer:
The slope of line c is 2.
The slope of line d is -1/2.
Lines c and d are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of a line:
When given two points of a line, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.
Parallel lines: Have the same slope
Perpendicular lines: The multiplication of their slopes is -1.
Line c:
Passes through points (3,-5) and (6,1).
Change in y: 1 - (-5) = 1 + 5 = 6
Change in x: 6 - 3 = 3
Slope: 6/3 = 2
The slope of line c is 2.
Line d:
Passes through points (6,-4) and (2,-2)
Change in y: -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2
Change in x: 2 - 6 = -4
Slope: 2/-4 = -1/2
The slope of line d is -1/2.
Relationship between the lines:
They have different slopes, so they are not parallel.
Multiplication of the slopes:
2*(-1/2) = -2/2 = -1
Since the multiplication of their slopes is -1, Lines c and d are perpendicular.
