Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Line m passes through the points (-4, 3) and (-4, 7). What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to line m?

Zero

Line k has a slope of 2/3. If line m is parallel to line k, then it has a slope of

2/3

Parallel lines have the same slope.

True

Given quadrilateral RSTU, determine if each pair of sides (if any) are parallel and which are perpendicular for the coordinates of the vertices. R(-1, -5), S(8, 2), T(5, 5), U(-4, -2)

Pair 1 RS || TU Pair 2 ST || RU

Given quadrilateral RSTU, tell which sides (if any) are parallel and which are perpendicular for the coordinates of the vertices. R(-1, 1), S(1, -2), T(4, 0), U(3, 3)

RS perpendicular ST

Line j passes through the points (0, 0) and (c, d). Line k passes through the points (0,0) and (-d, c). Lines j and k are

perpendicular

False

Given quadrilateral RSTU, determine if each pair of sides (if any) are parallel and which are perpendicular for the coordinates of the vertices. R(0, 0), S(6, 3), T(5, 5), U(-1, 2)
