The correct Answer is:
To determine if the statements regarding the straight lines are true and if one is a correct explanation for the other, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the slopes of the given lines The equations of the lines are: 1. \( 2x + 3y + 5 = 0 \) 2. \( 3x - 2y + 1 = 0 \) To find the slopes, we need to rewrite these equations in the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + c \), where \( m \) is the slope. **For the first line:** \[ 3y = -2x - 5 \\ y = -\frac{2}{3}x - \frac{5}{3} \] Thus, the slope \( m_1 = -\frac{2}{3} \). **For the second line:** \[ -2y = -3x - 1 \\ y = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{1}{2} \] Thus, the slope \( m_2 = \frac{3}{2} \). ### Step 2: Check if the lines are perpendicular Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is equal to -1: \[ m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1 \] Substituting the values we found: \[ -\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = -1 \] Since the product equals -1, **Statement 1 is true**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 2 Statement 2 claims that two lines \( y = m_1x + c_1 \) and \( y = m_2x + c_2 \) are perpendicular if \( m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1 \). From our analysis in Step 2, we see that this condition holds true. Therefore, **Statement 2 is also true**. ### Step 4: Determine if Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1 Since Statement 2 correctly describes the condition for two lines to be perpendicular and this condition was satisfied in Statement 1, we conclude that **Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1**. ### Final Conclusion Both statements are true, and Statement 2 provides the correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the answer is: - Statement 1 is true. - Statement 2 is true. - Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
