The slopes of WU and VU are negative reciprocals since their product is -1 Therefore, angle U is a right angle.
What is the slope of a line which passes through points ( p,q) and (x,y)?
Its slope would be:
[tex]m = \dfrac{y-q}{x-p}[/tex]
Slope of parallel lines are same. Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal of each other.
The slope of WU = (4 - 1)/(2 - 0) = 3/2
The slope of VU = (2 - 4)/(5 - 2) = -2/3
The product of the slopes: 3/2 * (-2/3) = -1
Thus, The slopes of WU and VU are negative reciprocals since their product is -1.
Therefore, angle U is a right angle.
