9. The equation of line a is y = ¼x + 2 and the equation of line b is y = -4x -5. Are the two lines parallel, perpendicular or neither? Explain.

Applications of Math

10. Northland Builders are selling 3 home sites along the Etowah River. The lots are separated by parallel lines. If the total river frontage of the lots is 800 meters, find the river frontage for each lot.

12. David is a contractor who is building a house diagonally on a corner lot. To see if the house will fit where he wants it, he has drawn a blue print. The exterior walls of the house are perpendicular. He wants to know if he drew it correctly. Would the walls be perpendicular if the corners of the walls where at the coordinates (2, 0), (4, 1), (2, 5), and (0, 4)? Why? Show all work.
