Answers:

Line A is parallel to line D.

Line A is perpendicular to line C.

Line C is perpendicular to line D.

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line through (-1,-17) and (3,11)

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-17) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (3,11)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{11 - (-17)}{3 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{11 + 17}{3 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{28}{4}\\\\m = 7\\\\

The slope of line A is 7

-------------

Now let's find the slope of line B.

(x_1,y_1) = (0,4) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (7,-5)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{-5 - 4}{7 - 0}\\\\m = -\frac{9}{7}\\\\

-------------

Now onto line C.

(x_1,y_1) = (7,1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (0,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 1}{0 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{1}{-7}\\\\m = -\frac{1}{7}\\\\

-------------

Lastly we have line D.

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-6) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (1,8)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{8 - (-6)}{1 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{8 + 6}{1 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{14}{2}\\\\m = 7\\\\

------------------------------

Here's a summary of the slopes we found

\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2}\text{Line} & \text{Slope}\\\cline{1-2}\text{A} & 7\\\cline{1-2}\text{B} & -9/7\\\cline{1-2}\text{C} & -1/7\\\cline{1-2}\text{D} & 7\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}

Recall that parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. This fact makes Line A parallel to line D.

Lines A and C are perpendicular to one another, because the slopes 7 and -1/7 multiply to -1. In other words, -1/7 is the negative reciprocal of 7, and vice versa. These two lines form a 90 degree angle.

Lines C and D are perpendicular for the same reasoning as the previous paragraph.

Line B unfortunately is neither parallel nor perpendicular to any of the other lines mentioned.

You can use a graphing tool like Desmos or GeoGebra to verify these answers.

Which two points are on the graph of M(a) = - 3/4a-12?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

(-16, 0) and  (0,-12)  are exactly two points on the graph of the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is : M(a) = -\frac{3}{4} a-12

Here, let M(a)  = b

⇒The equation becomes b = -\frac{3}{4} a-12

Now, check for all the given points for (a,b)

<u>1) FOR (-9,0)</u>

RHS  is  -\frac{3}{4} (-9)-12  =   -5.25 \neq 0

Hence, (-9,0) is NOT on the graph.

<u>2) FOR (-16,0)</u>

Here, LHS = b = 0

andRHS  =   -\frac{3}{4} (-16)-12  = 12-12  = 0

Hence, LHS  =  RHS = 0  So, (-16,0) is  on the graph.

<u>3) FOR (0,12)</u>

Here, LHS = b = 12

RHS  is  -\frac{3}{4} (0)-12  =   -12  \neq 12

Hence, (0,12) is NOT on the graph.

<u>4) FOR (0,-12)</u>

Here, LHS = b = -12

RHS  is  -\frac{3}{4} (0)-12  =   -12

and LHS = RHS = -12

Hence, (0,-12) is  on the graph.

Hence, (-16, 0) and  (0,-12)  are exactly two points on the graph of the given equation.

aliina [53]

Answer: There are 2/3 cups of peanuts and 21/4 cups of trail mix if you are to subtract the two witch gives you 4.58333333333 then simplify that as a fraction  u should get 41/2 then simplify that u should get  20 or 1/2

A hurricane is predicted to hit the coast in 5 days. Supplies are expected to dwindle as people prepare. The manager of the hard
Anton [14]
To test if linear model, we fit the data into a line and solve for the correlation coefficient:
The equation is
y = -1537.5x + 5466.67
and the correlation coefficient is
R² = 0.964

The model can't be exponential growth since the daily supply decreases with time. So, the data is tested if it's exponential decay. The same procedure is done the exponential equation would be linearized in the form:
y = -2816.06 lnx + 4073.57
with correlation coefficient of
R² = 0.998

Since the correlation coefficient for the exponential decay model is closer to 1, it must be the right model.

Please help me understand how to do this.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

  7.2 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the appropriate area formula, fill in the given values, and do the arithmetic.

  A = (1/2)ab·sin(C)

where "a" and "b" represent triangle side lengths and C is the angle between them.

  A = (1/2)(4 m)(8.5 m)sin(25°) ≈ 7.2 m²
