Todetermine if the given lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither.
Answer to Problem 8CYU
The given lines are perpendicular.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
W(1, -3), X(0, 2), Y(-2, 0), Z(8, 2)
Slope of the line is given by the formula,
We know when the lines are perpendicular to each other than the product of their slope is equal to -1.
Hence the slope of line WX is,
The slope of the line YZ is,
Here we can observe that the product of the slopes of the given lines is -1.
Hence the given lines are perpendicular to each other.
