four points?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
are there lines?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, the question is just are PQ and RS parallel, perpendicular or neither
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

oh, yes, I am sorry
this is all new to me, and I am not sure how to answer this questions
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
do you know how to find the slope between two points?
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
if two lines have the same slope, then they are parallel
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh, ok, yes
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
if the slopes are, say \(m_1,m_2\)
in the case that the lines are perpendicular
\[m_1=-1/m_2\]

P(1,-2) Q(10,1)
What is the slope of the first line PQ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is where I am having problems. This stuff is all new to me and I am having a hard time understanding it
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
ok ill show you how to find
The slope between two points
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, thank you
