Solution

This statement is False.

Explanation:

The given points are (3, – 4) and (– 2, 6), (– 3, 6) and (9, – 18).

Slope of the line joining the points (3, – 4) and (– 2, 6)

`m_1 = (6 + 4)/(-2 - 3)`

= `10/(-5)`

= – 2

Slope of the line joining the points (– 3, 6) and (9, – 18)

`m_2 = (-18 - 6)/(9 + 3)`

= `(-24)/12`

= – 2

Since m1 = m2 = – 2

So, the lines are parallel and not perpendicular.
