Answer:
Option (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
1). If two lines have the same slope, lines are defined as parallel.
m₁ = m₂
2). If the multiplication of the slopes of two lines is (-1), lines will be perpendicular.
m₁ × m₂ = (-1)
Line 1 : It passes through two points (-2, 10) and (1, 1).
Slope of the line 1 = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1+2}{10-1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{9}[/tex]
m₁ = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Line 2 : It passes through two points (-2, 8) and (2, -4).
Slope of the line 2 = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{8+4}{-2-2}[/tex]
= [tex]-\frac{12}{4}[/tex]
m₂ = -3
Since, m₁ × m₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times (-3)[/tex]
= (-1)
Therefore, given lines are perpendicular to each other.
Option (2) is the correct option.
