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.

The hardware store where you work charge 80 cents including tax, for a pound of nails. A customer purchases 5 3/4 pound of nails
Sophie [7]

Answer:

$4.60

Step-by-step explanation:

1 lb ---> 80 cents

5 3/4 lb ---> 5 3/4 * 80 cents

5 \dfrac{3}{4} \times 80 =

= \dfrac{23}{4} \times \dfrac{80}{1}

= \dfrac{23 \times 80}{4 \times 1}

= \dfrac{1840}{4}

= 460

460 cents = $4.60

X/-5=-20<br><br> A -100 or 100<br> B -4 or 4<br> C 100<br> D no solution
alexgriva [62]

Move the negative sign to the left

-x/5 = -20

Multiply both sides by 5

-x = -20 × 5

Simplify 20 × 5 to 100

-x = -100

Multiply both sides by -1

<em>x = 100</em>

<u>C. 100</u>

Which is an equation of the line whose
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

y = 2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2, so

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, 3 ) into the partial equation

3 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 4 = 7

y = 2x + 7 ← equation of line

Solve the following application problem. Be sure to show your system of equations and the steps to solve the problem.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

  • boat: 6 mph
  • current: 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between time, speed, and distance is ...

  speed = distance/time

For boat speed b and current speed c, the speed downstream is ...

  b +c = (16 mi)/(2 h) = 8 mi/h

The speed upstream is ...

  b -c = (16 mi)/(4 h) = 4 mi/h

Adding the two equations eliminates the c term:

  2b = 12 mi/h

  b = 6 mi/h . . . . . divide by 2

Solving the second equation for c, we get ...

  c = b -4 mi/h = 6 mi/h -4 mi/h = 2 mi/h

The speed of the boat in still water is 6 mi/h; the current is 2 mi/h.
