Question

Determine whether wz and yz are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.



W(–4, 5), X(8, –1), Y(6, –2), Z(1, –7)

Question 15 options:


perpendicular


neither


parallel

Answer 1

Answer:

  neither

Step-by-step explanation:

WZ and YZ have a point in common (Z), so cannot be parallel. They would be perpendicular if they had slopes that were negative reciprocals of each other, but they do not.

The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
