Respuesta :

Answer:

The line m is not parallel to line n.

The line m is  perpendicular to line k.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be calculated with the formula

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

 Choose any point of each line and calculate the slope of each one of them:

Line m:

[tex]m_{m}=\frac{3-(-4)}{-4-0}=-\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

Line n:

[tex]m_{n}=\frac{-2-2}{3-1}=-2[/tex]

Line k:

 [tex]m_{k}=\frac{1-(-3)}{4-(-3)}=\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

The lines m and n are not parallel because their slopes are different.

The line m is  perpendicular to line k because their slopes are opposite reciprocals.

Answer:

The first one is No, the slopes are not equal.

The second one is Yes, the slopes are negative reciprocals.
