Sagot :

Given the equations of the side length as shown;

AB y = 1/3 x + 1

CD = y = -3x+11

Before we determine whether they are parallel or perpendicular, we must first know that;

Two parallel lines have the same slope i.e Mab = Mcd

For two lines to be perpendicular then the product of the slopes must give -1 i.e MabMcd = -1

Comapring both equations with the general equation of a line y = mx+c;

For line AB: y = 1/3 x + 1

Mab = 1/3

For line CD: y = -3x+11

Mcd = -3

Taking the product of the slope;

MabMcd = 1/3 * -3

MabMcd = -1

Is AB perpendicular or parallel to CD? Since the product of their slope gives -1, hence the lines AB and CD are PERPENDICULAR to each other.
