1.) Lines K and M intersect at the point (1,-1).
2.) Line K intersects the x-axis at the point (1,0).
Throuugh a single point any number of lines can be drawn
Through two points only one line can be drawn.
1,0
1.) Lines K and M intersect at the point (1,-1).
This means that K passes thru (1,1) and (1,-1). hence we know line K
but for Line M, we know only one point. So we cant say if the line is perpendicular or not.
INSUFF
2.) Line K intersects the x-axis at the point (1,0).
Now, we know that K passes thru (1,1) and (1,0)
This means that K is parallel to y axis. This means K is passing thru (1,-1)(1,0)(1,1)(1,2)..etc
Hence Line M is passing thru (1,-1). But we do not know, at what angle it is passing.
Hence INSUFF
Combining:
Even now, we do not know the slope or eqtn of M
Henc eINSUFF
pick E.
whats OA?
