Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to plot two line segments, and , using the given coordinates for points , , , and on the coordinate plane:
Plotting Instructions:
-
Plotting points:
- and will form the line segment .
- and will form the line segment .
-
Line :
- This is a horizontal line since both points and have the same -coordinate of .
-
Line :
- This is a vertical line since both points and have the same -coordinate of .
Would you like me to create a graph of this plot or explain further?
Here are some follow-up questions:
- What is the distance between points and ?
- What is the distance between points and ?
- How do we determine the slope of a line segment?
- What are the properties of horizontal and vertical lines?
- What happens if two lines are perpendicular to each other?
Tip: To check if two lines are perpendicular, multiply their slopes. If the product is -1, the lines are perpendicular.
