Determine if line KM and line ST are ॥, ⊥, or neither: K(-5,1) , M(-2,-8), and S(12,14), T(20,-10) Parallel Perpendicular or neither. i will mark you the brainlest if you answer in under 10 minutes of working

The lines are parallel i.e. KM || ST

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

K(-5,1) , M(-2,-8), and S(12,14), T(20,-10)

In order to find if the lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither slope will be used.

The slope of any line which passes from two points and is given by the formula

If two lines are parallel their slope is equal. If two lines are perpendicular the product of their slope is equal to -1

So, first slopes of both lines will be calculated.

Let m1 be the slope of KM

and

m2 be the slope of ST

In case of KM:

Putting the values in the formula for slope

In case of ST:

Putting the values in the formula for slope

As we can see that slope of both lines KM and ST are equal

i.e. m1 = m2 = -3

Hence,

The lines are parallel i.e. KM || ST
