Line m passes through the points (-4-11) and (3.3). Line n passes through the points (5,-2) and (-6,9). Which of the following explains whether lines m and m

Line m passes through the points 411 and 33 Line n passes through the points 52 and 69 Which of the following explains whether lines m and m class=

Respuesta :

The slope of the line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is computed as follows:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

The slope of the line that passes through (-4, -11) and (3, 3) is:

[tex]m_1=\frac{3-(-11)}{3-(-4)}=\frac{14}{7}=2[/tex]

The slope of the line that passes through (5, -2) and (6, -9) is

[tex]m_2=\frac{-9-(-2)}{6-5}=-7[/tex]

Yes, lines m and n intersect because their slopes are different
