Slope of line PQ = -3

Slope of line RS = 3

They are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

<h3>What is the Slope of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines?</h3>

If two lines are parallel to each other, they would have the same slope value.

If two line are perpendicular, the slope value of one would be the negative reciprocal of the other.

Slope = change in y / change in x.

Slope of line PQ = (-1 - 14) / (2 - (-3))

Slope of line PQ = -15/5 = -3

Slope of line PQ = -3

Slope of line RS = (-10 - 8) / (-2 - 4)

Slope of line RS = -18/-6

Slope of line RS = 3

The slopes of both lines are different, and are not negative reciprocals of each other, therefore, they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(1x/4 + 1/7) + (3x/8 - 1/3) = x/4 + 3x/8 + 1/7 - 1/3

= x*2/4*2 + 3x/8 + 1*3/7*3 - 1*7/3*7

= 2x/8 + 3x/8 + 3/21 - 7/21

= (2x+3x)/8 + (3-7) /21

= 5x/8 + (-4)/21

= 5x/8 - 4/21

Solution:

(1) Midpoint:

A point in the middle of the line segment that divides it into two equal parts.

Mid point formula:

$$\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)$

Middle of a segment; in the form of a coordinate plane.

(2) Slope:

To find the slope of the line when passing through two points.

Slope formula:

$$\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$

(3) Distance:

To find the distance of two points.

Distance formula:

$\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

sleet_krkn [62]

The value of k is 735 feet.

<h3>What is a scale drawing? </h3>

A scale drawing is a smaller image in terms of dimensions of a bigger image / building / object.

The scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

<h3>What is the value of k? </h3>

The value of k = height of the antenna / length of the antenna in the model

750 / 1..02 = 735 feet
