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 line intersects the points (13,-4) and (1,12).Find the slope and simplify completely
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

4/-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 =

12 - -4          16

---------- =     ----

1 - 13           -12

Simplify by dividing both parts by 4

4/-3 is your slope :)

WARRIOR [948]
<span>The amount of dissolved oxygen in the Missouri River would decrease if large amounts of chemical waste were dumped into it. It would decrease because the chemical waste would feed on the microorganisms and reduce the amount of oxygen in the river.</span>

Phrase= 8 minus y

Operation = minus

1- 7n

2- 4-y

3- 13 + x

4- x divided by 12

Solve the equation for y (Y-3)^2=4y-12
Jet001 [13]
<span>(Y-3)^2 = 4y -12 <=> Y^2 - 6Y + 9 = 4y - 12 <=> 4y = Y^2 - 6Y + 21 <=> y = (Y^2 - 6Y + 21)/4. Solving the equation for y means that we have to express y relative to the other quantities in the equation.</span>
