If a line has a slope of 5/2 , then a parallel line would have a slope of -5/2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? is this true or false?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

these are Prependicular lines, not parallel.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

So FALSE.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

saifoo that's inccorect

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

is it? :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok >

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

they aren't parallel. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this in not geometrically posible since their parallall lines so m1=m2 but if both lines are perpendicular m1*m2=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could be parallel with correcting the second slope as well

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

but in this case they aren't. so the statement is false.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If a line has a slope of 5/2 , then a parallel line would have a slope of 5/2

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

BUT NOT in this case.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what should be in the if , then statement

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

RIghto!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
