Line m passes through points (3, 15) and (10, 9). Line n passes through points (2, 9) and (9, 3). Are line m and line n parallel or perpendicular?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The two lines 'm' and 'n' are parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation

Given that the line 'm' points (3,15) and (10,9)

The slope of the line 'm'

                = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } = \frac{9-15}{10-3} = \frac{-6}{7}[/tex]

Given that the line 'n' points (2,9) and (9,3)

The slope of the line 'n'

             = [tex]\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } = \frac{3-9}{9-2} = \frac{-6}{7}[/tex]

The slope of line 'm' = The slope of  line 'n'

Both slopes of the lines are equal

∴ The two lines are parallel
