How do you use the slope to prove lines are parallel or perpendicular?

For this, there is two rules. The common slope-intercept form is y=ax + b. For parallel, b can change, but a, or the slope, can't change. But for perpendicular, the a should be -1/a, where the answer for times the original equation, or a, and the second equation, or -1/a, is -1. To prove these two rules, you can graph it using random numbers but follow these two rules. if you have any part that don't understand for this answer, feel free to ask in the "Ask for details" section.

-5+7q+ -5q+ -9q please help

vekshin1

For this case we must simplify the following expression

$-5 + 7q + (- 5q) + (- 9q)$

We know that, by definition:

$+ * - = -$

So, rewriting the expression we have:

$-5 + 7q-5q-9q =$

We add similar terms taking into account that:

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.

Different signs are subtracted and the major's sign is placed:

$-5 + 2q-9q =\\-5-7q$

Answer:

$-5-7q$

Distance Formula: $d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Boat A(3.1, -1)

Boat B(-4.1, -1)

<u>Step 2: Find distance </u><em><u>d</u></em>

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance <em>d</em>.

Substitute [DF]: $d = \sqrt{(-4.1-3.1)^2+(-1+1)^2}$
Subtract/Add: $d = \sqrt{(-7.2)^2+(0)^2}$
Exponents: $d = \sqrt{51.84}$
Evaluate: $d = 7.2$
