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

A leprechaun places a magic penny under a girls pillow. The next night there are 2 magic pennies under her pillow. The following

kiruha [24]

Answer:

After 47 days she will have more than 90 trillion pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning there was 1 penny. At the second day the amount of pennies under the pillow became 2.

The amount of pennies doubled each day. So the series is,

$1,2,4,8,16,32,.....$

This series is in geometric progression.

As the pennies from each of the previous days are not being stored away until more pennies magically appear so the sum of series will be,

$S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}$

where,

a = initial term = 1,

r = common ratio = 2,

As we have find the number of days that would elapse before she has a total of more than 90 trillion, so

$\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le \dfrac{1(2^n-1)}{2-1}$

$\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le \dfrac{2^n-1}{1}$

$\Rightarrow 90\times 10^{12}\le 2^n-1$

$\Rightarrow 2^n\ge 90\times 10^{12}+1$

$\Rightarrow \log 2^n\ge \log (90\times 10^{12}+1)$

$\Rightarrow n\times \log 2\ge \log (90\times 10^{12}+1)$

$\Rightarrow n \ge \dfrac{\log (90\times 10^{12}+1)}{\log 2}$

$\Rightarrow n \ge 46.4$

$\Rightarrow n\approx 47$

A certain library assesses fines for overdue books as follows. on the first day that a book is overdue, the total fine is $0.10.

Volgvan

It the fourt day the total is 0.70 because
Day one: .10
Day two: you double it so .20
Day three: you double it again so .40
Day four: you add .30 so .70 is the total
