Question

determine if points are parallel perpendicular or neither .....(2,4)and (-1,-1)

Answer 1

parallel?

Answer 2

points cannot be parallel of perpendicular....only lines can be

Answer 3

Oh !!
:)

Answer 4

the 2 numbers are points on a line in a graph. i could graph it , but they want us to do the equation instead

Answer 5

Then i thnk they are parallel?

Answer 6

i dont need a guess, i need someone who knows how to write the equation.

Answer 7

i am sure QED knows xD

Answer 8

show me the graph bcuz if u just give me two points u cannot conclude anything

Answer 9

You can plot the graph.......

Answer 10

they are perpendicular

Answer 11

i know this part, there is an equation to figure it out with out having to graph them. i need to know how to do the equation , find someone who knows how to do that........

Answer 12

(2,4) and (-1,-1) with (8,0) and (11,5)

Answer 13

ok what about those two pairs of points?....do you want to know if the lines are perp or parallel?

Answer 14

the equation will determine that

Answer 15

first two points yield y = (5/3) x + wtvr

2nd two points yield y = (5/3) x + other wtvr

therefore, the two lines are parallel since they have the same slope

Answer 16

that is stranger, cuz when i actually put them on the graph they are perpendicular. how did you get thte y- yield ?

Answer 17

to find the slope of each pair of points, you need to do (change in y) over (change in x)....they both give 5/3

Answer 18

ok, now i am gonna sound like i am giving you a hard time, i dont understand what you mean by change in y and change in x

Answer 19

is that y2-y1/x2-x1 ?

Answer 20

have you learnt how to find the slope of a line?

Answer 21

yes it is what u wrote

Answer 22

ok, it is just the different terms everyone uses are different and confuse me......sorry

Answer 23

its ok
