How to tell if a slope is perpendicular or parallel

use the slope to determine if lines AB and CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. (please help asap!!)

Answered by admin @ 06/11/2021

lines AB and CD are perpendicular to each other

This is all about getting the slope of a line between two coordinates.

The formula for the slope in this case is;

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

We are given coordinates of A and B as;

A(9, 2) and B(-1, 8)

Thus;

m = (8 - 2)/(-1 - 9)

m = 6/-10

m_ab = -6/10 = -3/5

For coordinates of C and D, we have;

C(-5, 16) and D(-8, 11)

Thus;

m_cd = (11 - 16)/(-8 - (-5))

m_cd = -5/-3 = 5/3

For the slopes to be parallel, they have to be equal but for the slopes to be perpendicular, one of them would have to be negative inverse of the other.

We see that; m_cd = 5/3 is same as -1/(m_ab) = -1/(-3/5) = 5/3

Thus, lines AB and CD are perpendicular to each other.
