Answer:

D)\frac{B}{A} =\frac{C}{D}

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that parallel lines have the same slope, and the formula for slope is:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

So now, if you insert the values of each line, you would get:

Point 2 line 1 (0,B)O

Point 1 line 1  (-A,0)

Insert into the formula:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\m=\frac{B-0}{0-(-A)}\\m=\frac{B}{A}

That is the slope of line 1.

Point 2 line 2 (D,0)

Point 1 line 2 (0,-C)

Insert into the formula:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\m=\frac{0-(-C)}{D-0}\\m=\frac{C}{D}

So the slope for the line number 2 is: m=\frac{C}{D}

If both slopes are equal we can prove that they are parallel, so the correct option would be D)\frac{B}{A} =\frac{C}{D}

I would say that the correct answer is D. because y is always the numerator while x is the denominator for the equation y2 - y1/x2 - x1 which means if there is two y's or two x's on the same line you subtract the second one from the first one. If there is only one y and/or x and the other is 0 on the same line, it stays at y or x without subtracting y2 - y1 or x2 - x1. 

Since b is on the y coordinate and -a is on the x coordinate, you would make it b/a while -a is gonna be a positive since the lines are going up and to the right. Now, since c is the y coordinate and d is the x coordinate, make C the numerator and d the denominator since y is always the numerator and x is the denominator for these parallel line figures on the graph and the equation will be equaled to the fraction to the other fraction for parallel lines. 

So, your answer would be D. b/a = c/d 

Hope this helps, and is correct!

Which equation represents a line that passes through (–9, –3) and has a slope of –6?
Fiesta28 [93]
Using slope-intercept form, y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept:

We know our slope is -6. This can be interpreted as -6/1, which rise-over-run-wise, means that when y changes by 6, x changes inversely by 1.
To find that y-intercept, though, we need to find the value of y when x = 0.
Use our point (-9, -3) to find this...
We want to add 9 to x so that it becomes 0.
According to our slope, this means subtracting 54 from y.
Our y-intercept is at (0, -57), with -57 being the value of b we put in our equation.

\boxed{y=-6x-57}

You could also just use point-slope form:
y - y¹ = m(x - x¹)
y - (-3) = -6(x - (-9))
y + 3 = -6(x + 9)
And convert to slope-intercept if you want:
y + 3 = -6x - 54
y = -6x - 57

Which of the following is equivalent to log base(25) 125?
Scilla [17]
The solution to the problem is as follows:

x = log (25) (125) 

125 = 25^x 

log 125 = x log 25

Find a ⋅ b. a = &lt;5, 2&gt;, b = &lt;4, 5&gt;
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

  30

Step-by-step explanation:

For a = <xa, ya> and b = <xb, yb>, the dot product is the sum of products ...

  a·b = (xa)(xb) + (ya)(yb)

Substituting the given information, you have ...

  a·b = 5·4 + 2·5 = 20 + 10

  a·b = 30

_____

Some graphing calculators can do such math. There are also dot product calculators available on the Internet. If you have quite a few of these to calculate, you can put the appropriate formula into a spreadsheet.
