Answer:

1. D

2. A

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the type of line, find the slope.

  • Slopes which are the same are parallel
  • Slopes which are negative reciprocals are perpendicular
  • Slopes which are undefined (0 in the denominator) are horizontal.
  • Slopes which are 0 are vertical.

1. Find the difference in y values over the difference in x values. Calculate the slope using the formula:

[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{6-2}{4-6}=\frac{4}{-2}=-2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{1--1}{1-5}=\frac{2}{-4}=\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

These are reciprocals of each but not the negative or opposite signs of each other. This is none.

2. Find the difference in y values over the difference in x values. Calculate the slope using the formula:

[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{6-0}{4-7}=\frac{6}{-3}=-2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{3-1}{5-1}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

These are reciprocals of each and the negative or opposite signs of each other. These are perpendicular.
