Slope formula : (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-7,8),(-5,-6)
slope = (-6 - 8) / (-5 - (-7) = - 14/(-5 + 7) = -14 / 2 = -7

(3,-5),(-2,0)
slope = (0 - (-5) / (-2 - 3) = (0 + 5) / -5 = -5/5 = -1

B. no, the lines have unequal slopes

I'm going to use the slope formula which is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points the line goes through

Slope of line PQ
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 - (-7))
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 + 7)
m = (-14)/(2)
m = -7
The slope of line PQ is -7

Slope of RS
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0 - (-5))/(-2 - 3)
m = (0 + 5)/(-2 - 3)
m = (5)/(-5)
m = -1
The slope of line RS is -1

Because the slopes are NOT equal (one is -7 and the other is -1), this means the lines are NOT parallel.

Answer: Choice B) No, the lines have unequal slopes

Math- Look at the picture below i will mark you as brainliest if you answer correctly.
densk [106]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitue 15 into the x value and complete the equation.

This is because 2,280 is the original distance. 15 would be the hours and 60 would be how many miles per hour. So we multiply 15 and 60 and get 900, this is how many total miles they have driven. But when we subtract that number from 2,280, and we get 1,380, this is how many miles they have left.

10) The second angle in a triangle is 3° less than twice the first angle. The third angle measure 8° more than
andre [41]

Answer:

35, 67 and 78

Step-by-step explanation:

the angles are:

n, 2n-3 and 2n+8

there are 180 degrees in a triangle, so adding those terms together will give us 180

5n + 5 = 180

180 - 5 = 175

5n = 175

175 / 5 = 35

n = 35

now we have n we can put it in to the formula we have for the angles at the start:

n = 35

2n - 3 = 67

2n + 8 = 78

so the angles are

35, 67 and 78
