Question 163652: Directions:Tell whether the line throught the given points are parellel,penpendicular,or niether . Justify your answer .
Line 1: (1,0)(7,4)
Line 2: (7,0)(3,6)
*Now my question is how do you know if it is one of the three lines .(Perpendicular,Parellel,or niether).And How can I justify it ?? Found 2 solutions by Fombitz, scott8148:Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You need to calculate the slope for both lines and compare.
Parallel lines have identical slopes
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals .
If it meets neither of these, then it fits the neither category.

First calculate the slopes,

Looks like they're perpendicular because,

You can graph the points connect them with lines and check to verify your answer.
