is smith street parallel to platte way and is marcus road perpendicular to smith street?

anonymous · Answer

nvm i think i can see tell the points from the drawing. hopefuly i read them right.

smith st. cuts through (-1,-1) and (-2,-2) and the origin. the gradient is thus 1
the equation is thus y = x

marcus rd cuts through (-5,0) and (-3,-3) so the gradient is -1.5  
y-0 = -1.5(x+5)
y = -1.5x -7.5
