AC is not perpendicular to XZ, because the slope of AC is -1 and the slope of XZ is 2/3. Hence, the correct answer options are:

B. Is not

A. -1

<h3>How to calculate the slope of any straight line?</h3>

Mathematically, the slope of any straight line can be calculated by using this formula;

Slope, m = (Change in y-axis, Δy)/(Change in x-axis, Δx)

Slope, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

For the slope of AC, we have:

Point at A = (-1, 3)

Point at C = (4, -2)

Slope, m of AC = (-2 - 3)/(4 - (-1))

Slope, m of AC = (-2 - 3)/(4 + 1)

Slope, m of AC = -5/5.

Slope, m of AC = -1.

For the slope of XZ, we have:

Point at X = (12, 2)

Point at Z = (6, -2)

Slope, m of XZ = (-2 - 2)/(6 - 12)

Slope, m of XZ = -4/-6.

Slope, m of XZ = 2/3.

In Mathematics, a condition that must be met for two lines to be perpendicular is given by this mathematical expression:

m₁ × m₂ = -1

-1 × 2/3 = -1

-2/3 = -1 (False).

Brad has two lengths of copper pipe to fit together one has a length of 2 5/12 feet and the other has a length of 3 7 12 ft how
leva [86]
To find the total length of the two copper pipes, we need to add them together.

2 5/12 + 3 7/12 = 5 12/12

Since 12/12 = 1 or a whole, we can simplify this further.

5 12/12 = 6

Hope this helps!
