Which best describes the relationship between the line that passes through the points (-9, -7) and (-12, -2) and the line
that passes through the points (1, 9) and (6, 6)?
A. neither perpendicular nor parallel
B. perpendicular
C. same line
OD. parallel

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line that passes through the points (-9,-7) and (-12,-2) is

y = -5/3x-22

and

equation of the line that passes through the points (1, 9) and (6, 6) is

y = -3/5x+48/5

clearly it is not the same line,

[tex]\frac{-5}{3}.\frac{-3}{5} \neq -1[/tex] (lines are not perpendicular)

[tex]\frac{-5}{3}\neq \frac{-3}{5}[/tex] (not parallel)
