Segment ab falls on line 6x 3y = 9. segment cd falls on line 4x 2y = 8. what is true about segments ab and cd? they are parallel because they have the same slope of −2. they are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half. they are parallel because they have the same slope of 2. they are perpendicular because they have opposite reciprocal slopes 2 and negative one half.

They are parallel because they have the same slope of 2.

How to determine the true statements about the segments?

The segments are given as;

AB => 6x - 3y = 9

CD => 4x - 2y = 8

We start by making y the subject of both equations

AB => 6x - 3y = 9

-3y = -6x + 9

Divide through by -3

y = 2x - 3

CD => 4x - 2y = 8

-2y = -4x + 8

Divide through by -2

y = 2x - 2

A linear equation is represented as:

y = mx + b

Where m represents the slope of the line.

By comparing the three equations, we have:

m1 = 2

m2 = 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

This means that the lines AB and CD are parallel lines

Hence, they are parallel because they have the same slope of 2.
