QuestionCP Geometry Unit 2 Test For Questions 13 and 14, determine whether QVQ V and RMR M are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
13. Q(3,8),V(5,12),R(2.5,1),M(5,2)Q(-3,-8), V(5,12), R(-2.5,1), M(-5,2)

Studdy Solution
Compare the slopes mQV m_{QV} and mRM m_{RM} :
- Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal. - Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is 1-1.
Check if the slopes are equal:
5225 \frac{5}{2} \neq -\frac{2}{5}
Check if the product of the slopes is 1-1:
(52)×(25)=1 \left(\frac{5}{2}\right) \times \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right) = -1
Since the product is 1-1, the line segments QV QV and RM RM are perpendicular.
The relationship between QV QV and RM RM is:
Perpendicular \boxed{\text{Perpendicular}}
