AB formed by (-2, 13) and (0, 3)
CD formed by (-5, 0) and (10, 3)

Given:

AB formed by (-2,13) and (0,3).

CD formed by (-5,0) and (10,3).

To find:

Whether the segments AB and CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Solution:

Slope formula:

AB formed by (-2,13) and (0,3). So, the slope of AB is:

CD formed by (-5,0) and (10,3). So, slope of CD is:

Since , therefore the segments AB and CD are not parallel.

Since , therefore the segments AB and CD are perpendicular because product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is always -1.

Hence, the segments AB and CD are perpendicular.

AB is perpendicular to CD.

Step-by-step explanation:

AB formed by (-2, 13) and (0, 3)

CD formed by (-5, 0) and (10, 3)

Slope of a line passing through two points is

The slope of line AB is

The slope of line CD is

As the product of m and m' is -1 so the lines AB and CD are perpendicular to each other.
