Line A passes through the points (-8, 5) and (-5, 4). Line B passes through the points (0, 1) and (4, -1). Which of the followin

g describes the relationship between line A an line B?
1. Lines A and B are parallel, because they have opposite reciprocal slopes.
2. Lines A and B are parallel, because they have the same slope
3. Lines A and B intersect, because their slopes have no relationship.
4. Lines A and B are perpendicular, because they have opposite reciprocal slopes.

\stackrel{\textit{\LARGE Line A}}{(\stackrel{x_1}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4})} ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{4}-\stackrel{y1}{5}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{-5}-\underset{x_1}{(-8)}}} \implies \cfrac{4 -5}{-5 +8}\implies -\cfrac{1}{3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\stackrel{\textit{\LARGE Line B}}{(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1})} ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-1}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{0}}} \implies \cfrac{-1 -1}{4 +0}\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, and that parallel lines have equal slopes, well, those two slopes above aren't either, so since they're neither, and they're different, that means that lines A and B intersect.

There were 90 runners just start a race in the first half of the race 1/3 of them dropped out in the second half of the race 1/5
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

6 runners finished the race

Step-by-step explanation:

it starts with 90 runners. then 1/3 of them dropped out in the second half of the race, that means you do 90 divided by 3

90 ÷ 3 = 30

Then, 1/5 of the runners remained.

That means you do 30 divided by 5

30÷ 5= 6

so the answer is 6 remaining runners finished the race.
