Answer:

The given lines are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, two lines are given as line 1 passes through (1,7) and (5,5). Whereas, line 2 passes through (-1,-3) and (1,1).

It is required to find the slope of given lines and figure out whether they are perpendicular, parallel or neither.

To solve this question, first find the slope of both lines. Check if their product is equal to -1, then they are perpendicular. If the slopes are equal the lines are parallel.

Step 1 of 2

Find the slope of first line.

$$\begin{aligned}m_{1} &=\frac{5-7}{5-1} \\m_{1} &=\frac{-2}{4} \\m_{1} &=-\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}$$

Step 2 of 2

Find the slope of first line.

$$\begin{aligned}&m_{2}=\frac{1-(-3)}{1-(-1)} \\&m_{2}=\frac{4}{2} \\&m_{2}=2\end{aligned}$$

And

$$\begin{aligned}&m_{1} m_{2}=-\frac{1}{2}(2) \\&m_{1} m_{2}=-1\end{aligned}$$

Since, both slopes are reciprocal of each other.

Therefore, the lines are perpendicular.

B. seven minutes - because that is when the slope of the line is flat, which means he isn't moving.

A possible scale for the drawing can be 
1 inches : 3 feet.
2 inches : 6 feet 
or 3 inches to 9 feet
or 0.5 inches to 1.5 feet.

Hope this helps :)

Simplify the expression. Write the answer using scientific notation.
Neko [114]
We are given with two distances: 5,880,000,000,000 miles and 15.8 light-years. we convert first the light-years distance through the speed of light : 3 x 108 m/s. v = d/t; d = 3x10 8 m/s * 15.8 light years * 31536000 s = 1.4948 x1017 m = 9.28829 x 1013 miles. The difference thus is 8.70029 x 1013 miles

Can someone help me

Answer:

Su=10

Explaination:

So from s to u on the nunebr line is worth 2x-12. So what is s to u worth? Well. S to t on the number line = x-7. T to u =6. And 2 x is worth 12 more than s to u, using th e expression. X has to be at least 8 because otherwise the x-7 wouldn't work, and u might get s to u = 0 or a negative number.

Say x was 13, then 13 - 7 =6. So S to t =6. And r to u =6. So s to u =12. (6+6). Then check if the expression fits this answer of 12. 2x - 12. 2x = 26. 26-12=14, which doesn't match.

Let's try 14. 14-7=7. Then s to u = 7+6=13. The expression: 2x= 28. 28-12=16. 13 and 16 dont match. So we have got further away from what we need. Why don't we try going in the opposite direction. Rather than testing 13 and +1, let's now - 1 and try 12.

If x=12, then s to t =12-7=5. And s to u =6+5=11. The expression: 2x=24.-12=12. We are very close now with 11 and 12.

Lets test x=11!

S to t = 11-7=4. 4+6=10. So s to u =10.

2x=22. 22-12=10. So the expression works and the number line measurements.

The answer is su=10 and x=11.
