Respuesta :

line M with slope 6 is neither, line n with slope -6 is parallel because only lines with same slope are parallel, line p with slope 1/6 is neither. and line q with slope -1/6 is perpendicular because only the reciprocal of a slope is perpendicular, so reciprocal of 6= 1/6 reciprocal of -6=-1/6 reciprocal of 2= 1/2

we have

the slope of the given line is

[tex]m1=-6[/tex]

we know that

If two lines are parallel , then their slopes are the same

so

[tex]m1=m2[/tex]

if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

[tex]m1*m2=-1[/tex]

we will proceed to verify each case to determine the solution

case A) line m with slope [tex]6[/tex]

Compare the slope of the line m of the case A) with the slope of the given line

[tex]m1=-6[/tex]  -----> slope given line

[tex]m2=6[/tex] ----> slope line m case A)

[tex]m1\neq m2[/tex]

[tex]m1*m2\neq-1[/tex]

therefore

the line m case A) and the given line are neither parallel nor perpendicular

case B) line n with slope [tex]-6[/tex]

Compare the slope of the line n of the case B) with the slope of the given line

[tex]m1=-6[/tex]  -----> slope given line

[tex]m2=-6[/tex] ----> slope line n case B)

[tex]m1=m2[/tex] ------> the lines are parallel

case C) line p with slope [tex]\frac{1}{6} [/tex]

Compare the slope of the line p of the case C) with the slope of the given line

[tex]m1=-6[/tex]  -----> slope given line

[tex]m2=\frac{1}{6}[/tex] ----> slope line p case C)

[tex]m1*m2=-6*\frac{1}{6}=-1[/tex] ------> the lines are perpendicular

case D) line q with slope [tex]-\frac{1}{6} [/tex]

Compare the slope of the line q of the case D) with the slope of the given line

[tex]m1=-6[/tex]  -----> slope given line

[tex]m2=-\frac{1}{6}[/tex] ----> slope line q case D)

[tex]m1\neq m2[/tex]    

[tex]m1*m2\neq-1[/tex]

therefore

the line q case D) and the given line are neither parallel nor perpendicular
