Answer:
1 - Perpendicular.
2 - Neither.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slop formula to find the slope of the two sides.
[tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
[tex]JK = \frac{4-9}{7-1} = \frac{-5}{6}[/tex]
[tex]LM = \frac{1-13}{-2-8} = \frac{-12}{-10} = \frac{6}{5}[/tex]
Perpendicular - because a line that is perpendicular to another must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the first line.
[tex]JK = \frac{6-(-5)}{2-13} = \frac{11}{-11} = 1[/tex]
[tex]LM = \frac{-2-(-5)}{-4-(-1)} = \frac{3}{-3} = -1[/tex]
Not Parallel. Nor perpendicular.
