((5)/(2),-(2)/(5)) determine if the two lines are parallel or perpendicular or neither.

1 answer

To determine whether the two lines represented by the given points \((\frac{5}{2}, -\frac{2}{5})\) are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we first need to establish what these points represent.

However, you have provided a single point rather than two separate points or the equations of two lines. In order to analyze the relationship between two lines, we need either:

  1. Two points for each line (which gives us the slope of each line) or
  2. The equations of the two lines.

Assuming you meant to provide two points:

If you have two points, say \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\), the slope \(m\) of the line formed by these points is given by:

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

Two lines are:

  • Parallel if their slopes are equal.
  • Perpendicular if the product of their slopes is \(-1\).

Please provide two distinct points or line equations for accurate analysis.
