is P(1,-2) Q(10,1) R(2,-8) S(-7,-5) Parallel or perpendicular or neither

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

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 ok so the lines are PQ and RS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 \[m_1=-1/m_2\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

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
