Determine whether the line that passes through the two given points is parallel or perpendicular (or neither ) to a line with a slope of - 2. (3, 2), (4, 4)
A) neither
B) perpendicular
C) parallel

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of the line passing through the points (3, 2) and (4, 4) is calculated as (4-2)/(4-3) = 2. Since the given line has a slope of -2, the slopes are neither equal (not parallel) nor negative reciprocals of each other (not perpendicular), hence the correct answer is neither.
