Answer:

The lines are parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

step 1

Find the slope JK

we have

J(13,-5),K(2,6)

substitute the values

m=\frac{6+5}{2-13}

m=\frac{11}{-11}

m_J_K=-1

step 2

Find the slope LM

we have

L(-1,-5),M(-4,-2)

substitute the values

m=\frac{-2+5}{-4+1}

m=\frac{3}{-3}

m_L_M=-1

step 3

Compare the slopes

m_J_K=-1

m_L_M=-1

so

m_J_K=m_L_M

therefore

The lines are parallel

Simplity (4^-2)^5<br> A.1/4^10<br> B. 4^3<br> C.1/4^3<br> D. 4^10
Goshia [24]

Answer:

(4^{-2})^5=\dfrac{1}{4^{10}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is : (4^{-2})^5

We need to simplify the above expression.

We know that, x^{-a}=\dfrac{1}{x^a}

or

(4^{-2})^5=(\dfrac{1}{4^2})^5\\\\=\dfrac{1^5}{(4^2)^5}\\\\\because (x^b)^c=x^{b\times c}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4^{10}}

So, the simplified form of the given expression is \dfrac{1}{4^{10}}. Hence, the correct option is (A).

PLEASE HELP!! What is the slope of the line on the graph?
sammy [17]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula is the difference of the y values divided by the difference of x values. Choose to points. I chose (-2,-1) and (0,3). 3-(-1) is equal to 4. 0-(-2) is equal to 2. 4 divided by 2 is two.
