Concept explainers
which of the lines are parallel or perpendicular.
Answer to Problem 15E
The lines
The lines
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Line a passes through (-2,1) and (0,3)
Line b passes through (4,1) and (6,4)
Line c passes through (1,3) and (4,1)
Calculation:
Consider the lines
The objective is to determine which lines are parallel or perpendicular.
To determine whether the lines are parallel or perpendicular, find the slopes of lines
The slope of a line is the ratio of difference of
Therefore, the slope of line
The slope of line
Similarly, the slope ofline
Since the slopes of line
But, the slope of lines
That is,
Therefore, the lines
Conclusion:
The lines
The lines
