which of the lines are parallel or perpendicular.
Answer to Problem 14E
The lines
The lines a, b and c are not perpendicular
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
Consider the lines
The objective is to determine which lines are parallel or perpendicular.
To determine whether the lines are parallel or perpendicular, find the slopes of lines
The slope of a line is the ratio of difference of
Therefore, the slope of line
The slope of line
The slope of line
Since the slopes of all the three lines
Also, none of them are the negative inverse of each other, therefore they are not perpendicular
Conclusion:
The lines
The lines a, b and c are not perpendicular
