Identify if line segments AB and CD are perpendicular:
1.
Final Answer: The line segments
Step 1 :We are given two line segments AB and CD. AB is formed by points A(-2,13) and B(0,3), and CD is formed by points C(-5,0) and D(10,3).
Step 2 :To determine if these line segments are perpendicular, we need to calculate the slopes of the lines AB and CD and check if they are negative reciprocals of each other.
Step 3 :The slope of a line passing through points
Step 4 :Let's calculate the slope of line AB. For AB,
Step 5 :Next, let's calculate the slope of line CD. For CD,
Step 6 :Now, we check if the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. The product of the slopes of AB and CD is
Step 7 :Since the product of the slopes is -1, the lines AB and CD are perpendicular.
Step 8 :Final Answer: The line segments
