Respuesta :
They represent that the 2 lines are perpendicular because, the slopes of two perpendicular lines are always negative reciprocals of one another.
Answer:
Perpendicular lines.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that line BC has an equation of a line [tex]y=2x+3[/tex] and line EF has an equation of a line [tex]y=-\frac{1}{2}x+4[/tex]. We are asked to determine what these both equations represent.
We know that slope of two perpendicular lines is negative reciprocal of each other. This means the product of slope of both lines is equal to [tex]-1[/tex].
Let us find the product of slopes of both lines.
[tex]2\times \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
Upon cancelling 2 with 2 we will get,
[tex]=-1[/tex]
Therefore, the given two equations represent equations of two perpendicular lines.
