Answer:
The lines L1 and L2 neither parallel nor perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets revise how to find a slope of a line
- If a line passes through points (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2), then the slope
of the line is
- Parallel lines have same slopes
- Perpendicular lines have additive, multiplicative slopes
( the product of their slopes is -1)
* Lets solve the problem
∵ L1 passes through the point (1 , 10) and (-1 , 7)
- Let (1 , 10) is (x1 , y1) and (-1 , 7) is (x2 , y2)
∴ x1 = 1 , x2 = -1 and y1 = 10 , y2 = 7
∴ The slope of L1 is
∵ L2 passes through the point (0 , 3) and (1 , 5)
- Let (0 , 3) is (x1 , y1) and (1 , 5) is (x2 , y2)
∴ x1 = 0 , x2 = 1 and y1 = 3 , y2 = 5
∴ The slope of L2 is
∵ m1 = 3/2 and m2 = 2
- The two lines have different slopes and their product not equal -1
∴ The lines L1 and L2 neither parallel nor perpendicular
Answer:
Jennifer's speed is 2.4 miles/hour
Kamlee's speed is 2 miles/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To find their speed,
Speed can be determined from the formula below,
Also, to determine the speed in miles per hour (miles/hour), we will convert the time spent by each of them to hour (NOTE: 60 minutes = 1 hour)
For Jennifer,
Distance = 4/5 miles
Time = 20 mins (Convert to hour)
∴Time = (20/60) hour = 1/3 hour
Hence,
Hence, Jennifer's speed is 2.4 miles/hour
For Kamlee,
Distance = 5/6 miles
Time = 25 minutes (Convert to hour)
Time = (25/60) hour = 5/12 hour
Hence,
Hence, Kamlee's speed is 2 miles/hour
