An electrical technician is verifying if two conduits, modeled by the lines ${}5x + 4y = 1$ and ${}4x + 5y = 3$, are perpendicular. Match each part of the verification process with its correct value or description.

A structural inspector is verifying the angle between two support cables modeled by the equations ${}5x + 4y = 1$ and ${}4x + 5y = 3$. Arrange the steps of the verification process in the correct order to conclude that these cables are NOT perpendicular.

A landscape architect is designing two walking paths modeled by the linear equations ${}5x + 4y = 1$ and ${}4x + 5y = 3$. After determining that the slopes of these paths are $-\frac{5}{4}$ and -rac{4}{5}, the architect verifies if the paths meet at a right angle. Which of the following statements correctly recalls the product of these slopes and explains why the paths are NOT perpendicular?

A design engineer is verifying the alignment of two layout lines modeled by the equations ${}5x + 4y = 1$ and ${}4x + 5y = 3$. The engineer determines that the product of the slopes of these two lines is 1, which confirms that the lines are NOT perpendicular.
