Given:
Line m passes through points (3, 15) and (10,9).
Line n passes through points (2,9) and (9,3).
To find:
Whether the line m and line n are parallel or perpendicular?
Solution:
Slope formula:
Line m passes through points (3, 15) and (10,9). Using the slope formula, the slope of line m is
Line n passes through points (2, 9) and (9,3). Using the slope formula, the slope of line m is
Since
, therefore, the lines m and n are parallel because the slope of parallel lines are equal.
