`(i)` Through `(5,6)` and `(2,3)` , through `(9,-2)` and `(6,-5)`
`(ii)` Through `(2,-5)` and `(-2,5)`, through `(6,3)` and `(1,1)`.

The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the two lines in each of the given problems are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we will calculate the slopes of the lines formed by the given points. ### Problem (i): **Points:** (5, 6) and (2, 3), (9, -2) and (6, -5) 1. **Calculate the slope of the first line (m1):** - Using the formula for the slope \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \): - Let \( (x_1, y_1) = (5, 6) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) = (2, 3) \). - \( m_1 = \frac{3 - 6}{2 - 5} = \frac{-3}{-3} = 1 \) 2. **Calculate the slope of the second line (m2):** - Let \( (x_1, y_1) = (9, -2) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) = (6, -5) \). - \( m_2 = \frac{-5 + 2}{6 - 9} = \frac{-3}{-3} = 1 \) 3. **Compare the slopes:** - Since \( m_1 = m_2 = 1 \), the lines are **parallel**. ### Problem (ii): **Points:** (2, -5) and (-2, 5), (6, 3) and (1, 1) 1. **Calculate the slope of the first line (m1):** - Let \( (x_1, y_1) = (2, -5) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) = (-2, 5) \). - \( m_1 = \frac{5 - (-5)}{-2 - 2} = \frac{10}{-4} = -\frac{5}{2} \) 2. **Calculate the slope of the second line (m2):** - Let \( (x_1, y_1) = (6, 3) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) = (1, 1) \). - \( m_2 = \frac{1 - 3}{1 - 6} = \frac{-2}{-5} = \frac{2}{5} \) 3. **Compare the slopes:** - To check if the lines are perpendicular, we multiply the slopes: - \( m_1 \cdot m_2 = -\frac{5}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{5} = -1 \) - Since the product of the slopes is -1, the lines are **perpendicular**. ### Summary of Results: - **(i)** The lines are **parallel**. - **(ii)** The lines are **perpendicular**. ---
