State whether the two lines in each of the following are parallel, perpendicular or neither :

Through (9, 5) and (– 1, 1); through (3, – 5) and 98, – 3)

We have given Coordinates off two line.

Given: (9, 5) and (– 1, 1); through (3, – 5) and (8, – 3)


To Find: Check whether Given lines are perpendicular to each other or parallel to each other.


Concept Used: If the slopes of this line are equal the the lines are parallel to each other. Similarly, If the product of the slopes of this two line is – 1, then lines are perpendicular to each other.


The formula used: Slope of a line, m =


Now, The slope of the line whose Coordinates are (9, 5) and (– 1, 1)




So, m1 =


Now, The slope of the line whose Coordinates are (3, – 5) and (8, – 3)




So, m2 =


Here, m1 = m2 =


Hence, The lines are parallel to each other.
