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

You need to reverse the symbol to solve which inequality?

Marina86 [1]

When you multiply/divide by a negative number while solving the inequality, you reverse the symbol.

A.) 4(5 - y) ≥ 80 To solve this, isolate/get the variable "y" by itself in the inequality. Divide 4 on both sides

$\frac{4(5-y)}{4} \geq \frac{80}{4}$

5 - y ≥ 20 Subtract 5 on both sides

5 - 5 - y ≥ 20 - 5

-y ≥ 15 Divide -1 on both sides to get "y" by itself

$\frac{-y}{-1} \geq \frac{15}{-1}$ Because you are dividing by a negative number, you need to reverse the sign

y ≤ -15

B.) 2(y - 3) ≥ 8 Isolate "y", divide 2 on both sides

y - 3 ≥ 4 Add 3 on both sides to get "y" by itself

y ≥ 7

C.) 3y - 4 > 1 Add 4 on both sides

3y > 1 Divide 3 on both sides to get "y" by itself

$y>\frac{1}{3}$

D.) $-\frac{3}{4} +6y > \frac{1}{4}$ Isolate "y", add 3/4 on both sides

6y > 1 Divide 6 on both sides to get "y" by itseld

$y>\frac{1}{6}$

Anna is making a banner out of 4 congruent triangles as shown below. How much blue trim will she need for each side

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The length of each blue trim is 17.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for banner

Required

The length of each blue trim

Since all 4 triangles are equal, then the dimension of 1 triangle is:

$Side\ 1 = 10$

$Side\ 2 = 14$

The hypotenuse (x) of the triangle blue trim is represented by the blue trim

So:

$x^2 = Side\ 1^2 + Side\ 2^2$

This gives

$x^2 = 10^2 + 14^2$

$x^2 = 100 + 196$

$x^2 = 296$

Take square root

$x = \sqrt{296$

$x = 17.2in$

Solve the equation (linear equation)<br><br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=8%5E%7B2x%2B7%7D%20%3D%20%28%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B32%7

Minchanka [31]

Answer: $x=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

By the negative exponent rule, you have that:

$(\frac{1}{a})^n=a^{-n}$

By the exponents properties, you know that:

$(m^n)^l=m^{(nl)}$

Therefore, you can rewrite the left side of the equation has following:

$(\frac{1}{8})^{-(2x+7)}=(\frac{1}{32})^{3x}$

Descompose 32 and 8 into its prime factors:

$32=2*2*2*2*2=2^5\\8=2*2*2=2^3$

Rewrite:

$(\frac{1}{2^3})^{-(2x+7)}=(\frac{1}{2^5})^{3x}$

Then:

$(\frac{1}{2})^{-3(2x+7)}=(\frac{1}{2})^{5(3x)}$

As the base are equal, then:

$-3(2x+7)=5(3x)$

Solve for x:

$-6x-21=15x\\-21=15x+6x\\-21=21x\\x=-1$
