a. Write three equations that are perpendicular to line
$$m$$
.
b. What is the relationship between your three equations and line
$$p$$
?
c. Find the distance between line
$$m$$
and
$$p$$
using your three equations. What do you notice?
Problem 2
In the diagram below,
$${\overleftrightarrow {AI} \parallel {\overleftrightarrow {CK}}}$$
and
$${\overleftrightarrow{IC} \perp \overleftrightarrow {AK}}$$
. How can you use the triangles
$${AHI}$$
and
$${KHC}$$
to prove that the slopes for
$${\overleftrightarrow{AI}}$$
and
$${\overleftrightarrow {CK}}$$
are the same?
