The lines shown below are parallel. If the green line has a slope of 5, what is the slope of the red line?

The slope of the red line would be 5 as well as long as the lines are parallel. If it were perpendicular, or made an x, then the slope would be (1/5)<span />

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lines described are parallel, this means that they will have the same slope. If the green line has a slope of 5, then the red one will also have a slope of 5. Parallel lines are those that do not meet. These lines do not touch or intersect at any point. Moreover, these lines are always the same distance apart (<em>equidistant</em>).

Scilla [17]

A rancher wants to enclose a rectangular field with 220 ft of fencing.
One side is a river and will not require a fence.
What is the maximum area that can be enclosed?
:
The field requires only 3 sides of fence, therefore
L + 2W = 220
L = (220-2W); we can use this for substitution in the Area equation
:
Area
A = L*W
replace L with (220-2W)
A = W(220-2W)
A = -2W^2 + 220W
A quadratic equation, max A occurs at the axis of symmetry, x = -b/(2a)
In this equation
W = %28-220%29%2F%282%2A-2%29
W = 55 ft is the width for max area
:
Find the max area
A = -2(55^2) + 220(55)
A = -2(3025) + 12100
A = 6050 sq/ft is the max area
:
:
Confirm this with the dimensions calculated; 110 * 55 = 6050
