Hey there! 

First, find the slope of the actual original pair of points.
The slope formula is:

m =  \frac{ y_{2} -  y_{1} }{ x_{2} -  x_{1} }

So now, substitute the points in, whichever order you substitute the points into the equation doesn't matter, as long as the ones substituted in with the same subscript number.

m = \frac{ -7 - 4 }{ -2 - 8 }\

Once you subtract, you get:

m = \frac{-11 }{ -10 }

So the slope is 11/10.

A line that is parallel to another has the exact same slope that that another line has.

So therefore the line that is parallel has a slope of 11/10.

Perpendicular is another story. You take the reciprocal of the slope of the other line, and then change the sign before it: ex: negative would become positive.

So therefore the line that is perpendicular has a slope of -10/11.

Which best describes the relationship between the line that passes through the points (-6, 5) and (-
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Line that passes through the points (-6,5) and (-2,7) is,

y=x/2+8, slope is 1/2

line that passes through the points (4,2) and (6,6) is,

y=2x-6, slope is 2

so, there is no relationship between those two lines,

intersection point is (28/3,38/3)

Which inequality would result in the shaded solution on the unit circle to the right?
omeli [17]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

Explanation:

Cosine is positive in quadrants I and IV, but quadrant IV isn't shaded in so we can rule out choice A.

Sine is positive in quadrants I and II. So far it looks like choice B could work. In fact, it's the answer because sin(pi/6) = 1/2 and sin(5pi/6) = 1/2. So if 0 ≤ sin(x) < 1/2, then we'd shade the region between theta = 0 and theta = pi/6; as well as the region from theta = 5pi/6 to theta = pi.

Choice C is ruled out because tangent is positive in quadrants I and III, but quadrant III isn't shaded.

Choice D is ruled out for similar reasoning as choice A. Recall that \sec(x) = \frac{1}{\cos(x)}
