The parallel lines have the same slope. So we should check the slope from all the options. We will use formula m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
First Option (x₁,y₁) = (-8,8) (x₂,y₂) = (2,2) Find the slope (m) m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) m = (2 - 8)/(2 + 8) m = -6/10 m = -3/5 It has the same slope of -3/5, so it's parallel with the line.
Second Option (x₁,y₁) = (-5,-1) (x₂,y₂) = (0,2) Find the slope (m) m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) m = (2 + 1) / (0 + 5) m = 3/5 It doesn't have the same slope, so it's not parallel with the line.
Third Option (x₁,y₁) = (-3,6) (x₂,y₂) = (6,-9) Find the slope (m) m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) m = (-9 - 6) / (6 + 3) m = -15/9 m = -5/3 It doesn't have the same slope, so it's not parallel with the line
Fourth Option (x₁,y₁) = (-2,1) (x₂,y₂) = (3,-2) Find the slope (m) m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) m = (-2 - 1) / (3 + 2) m = -3/5 It has the same slope of -3/5, so it's parallel with the line.
Fifth Option (x₁,y₁) = (0,2) (x₂,y₂) = (5,5) Find the slope (m) m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) m = (5 - 2) / (5 - 0) m = 3/5 It doesn't have the same slope, so it's not parallel with the line.
SUMMARY The parallel lines are first option and fourth option
They suggest that the audience has listened to and understood all of Truth’s reasons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain’t got nothing more to say.
This Implies that she needs to say nothing more, because the truth was so blaringly obvious that everyone in the crowd understood it. It also implies that no better argument for her cause could be put forward, and none was needed.
