Segment AB has coordinates A(5, 6) and B(-2, 2). Segment CD has coordinates C(-4, -9) and D(-8, -2). Determine if AB and CD are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Justify your answer. A. The segments are parallel because the slopes are the same.
B. The segments are perpendicular because the slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other.
C. The segments are not parallel or perpendicular because they are both negative.
D. The segments are parallel because the slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other.
