If someone could help me with these parts they will get 304 Internet Points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the slope of the lines if they are same then parallel if m1= -(1/m2) then they are perpendicular

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

What are 304 internet points?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

First step, find the slope of the line of both sets of coordinates.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Do you know how to find slope?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

..using two points on a line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I first need to find if the parallel lines are reciprocal, opposite, the same or negative

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Oh, for that...parallel lines have equal slopes

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

they can never intersect (definition of parallel), and so the slopes have to be exactly the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 'The same'. Ok thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m1= -(1/m2) perpendicular lines. that is negative reciprocal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm /:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The slopes of perpendicular lines are reciprocals, opposites, the same, or negative reciprocals ?

OpenStudy (shinalcantara):

first thing to do is identify the slopes of the two lines for you to compare \[m = \frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m1= -(1/m2) perpendicular lines. that is negative reciprocal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, perpinduclar would be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now for part 3:Find the slopes of lines AB and CD. Show your work. Would this just be y2 - y1 / x2 - x1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yups.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait i dont understand, it shows 4 different coordinates for AB and CD.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use point A and B for line AB and point C and D for line CD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A (3,4) B(7, 7) slope for AB = 7-4/7-3 = 3/4 C(0,0) D (-6,8) slope for CD = 8-0/-6-0 = -8/6 =- 4/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome, any idea for part 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using what you discovered in Parts I and II, determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Explain your answer.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Using the information known about perpendicular and parallel lines, how would you classify these two lines?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

negative?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

remember, parallel lines have equal slopes. Does 3/4 = -4/3 ? nope and perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Are 3/4 and -4/3 opposite reciprocals of each other? \[\frac{3}{4}\times -\frac{4}{3} = -\frac{3\times 4}{4 \times 3} = -1\] YEP!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So yes it is negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@StudyGurl14 ?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

no...the lines are perpendicular

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

..since their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As m1= -(1/m2) lines are perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So which one is it?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

the lines are perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parallel or perpendicular ?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

I've said it like three times....lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, and why are they perpendicular ?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

omg...i already said

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

look at previous posts^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha sorry, I'll give you an extra 200 internet points (:

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

what are internet points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other ?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

correct^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then how would i graph this stuff?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh nevermind i got it.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

okay...lol you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea I just plug in points A, B, C and D right?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

sorta. you plug in and solve for the y-intercept...but anyway: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/0yap1nljbs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perfect, i just got a few more questions! Is it ok if i tag you in them @StudyGurl14 ?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yeah
