Question

line s has a slope of \frac{5}{4}. line t has a slope of \frac{9}{7}. are line s and line t parallel or perpendicular? parallel perpendicular neither

Explanation:

Step1: Check parallel condition

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal. Here, \(\frac{5}{4}
eq\frac{9}{7}\), so they are not parallel.

Step2: Check perpendicular condition

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is \(- 1\). Calculate \(\frac{5}{4}\times\frac{9}{7}=\frac{45}{28}
eq - 1\)

Answer:

neither
