Answer:
The graph of a linear equation can either run uphill or downhill. The slope is positive when the line is uphill, while the downhill line represents a negative slope. To find the slope, find two coordinates along the line.
So, if we take 68.73 to be the 100%, what is 12 in percentage off of it?

seems Audryn is being generous, she probably got the silverware and the maple leaves tablecloth.
we know that
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

<u>Part a) Find the slope of line PQ</u>

substitute in the formula


Any line parallel to X-axis has slope equal to zero
so
the line PQ is parallel to the x-axis
therefore
<u>the answer Part a) is </u>

<u>Part b) Find the slope of line MN</u>

substitute in the formula


Anything divided by zero is undefined
m=undefined
therefore
<u>the answer Part b) is </u>
undefined
<u>Part c) How are the two lines related ? </u>
we know that
Any line perpendicular to X-axis has slope undefined
Because the term
will always be zero
so
<u>the answer Part c) is</u>
the lines are perpendicular
From the diagram above you can see that points A and B have coordinates (8,0) and (-4,6), respectively.
The equation of the line passing through the pointa A and B is:

Then
