Is the line through points p(-7,8) and q(-5,-6) parallel to the line throuh points R(3,-5) and S(-2,0)? explain.
2 answers:
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:
y=12/x
Step-by-step explanation:
if y=12, and x=1 so
general formula y=12/x
for x=5 , y=12/5=2.4
you can graph by ploting points such as (1,12), (5, 2.4),...
Here are a few reasons:
The triangles have the same three sides
The triangles have the same three angles
The triangles could perfect overlap one another
They have corresponding angles.
Not sure if this helped but I hope so!
Answer:
69
Step-by-step explanation:
All angles in a triangle = 180°
35 + x + (x+7) = 180
42 + 2x = 180
2x = 138
x = 69
