To determine which lines are perpendicular to each other, we need to look at the slopes of the lines given by their equations.
-
Identify the slopes:
- Line A: \( y = 2x - 3 \) (slope = 2)
- Line B: \( y = 2x + 5 \) (slope = 2)
- Line C: \( y = -12x - 2 \) (slope = -12)
- Line D: \( y = 12x + 2 \) (slope = 12)
-
Check for perpendicularity:
-
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1 (i.e., if one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other).
-
Line A and Line B:
- Slopes: 2 and 2
- \( 2 \times 2 = 4 \) (not perpendicular)
-
Line A and Line C:
- Slopes: 2 and -12
- \( 2 \times -12 = -24 \) (not perpendicular)
-
Line C and Line D:
- Slopes: -12 and 12
- \( -12 \times 12 = -144 \) (not perpendicular)
-
Line B and Line D:
- Slopes: 2 and 12
- \( 2 \times 12 = 24 \) (not perpendicular)
-
-
Conclusion: Since none of the pairs of lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, there are no perpendicular lines among the given options.
Thus, the correct answer is: None of the statements are true regarding perpendicular lines.
