Answer:

Recall that a equivalence relation must satisfy three conditions: it must be symmetric, reflexive and transitive. Let us study each one of them.

<em>Reflexive</em>: Here we have to prove that an element is in relation with itself. In this particular case, we need to show that every line is parallel or equal to itself, which is obvious.

<em>Symmetric</em>: Here we have to show that if one element is in relation with another, the reciprocal is also true. So, in this case, we want to show that if the line r is in relation with s, then the line s is in relation with r. So, as r is in relation with s, they are equal or parallel.

If they are equal, r=s implies s=r directly. If they are parallel, from elementary geometry we know that r║s means that s║r too. So, the relation is <em>reflexive.</em>

<em>Transitive</em>: Here we want to show that if r is in relation with s, and s is in relation with t, then r is in relation with t. Let us assume that the three lines are parallel, because if we have equality between two of them the statement is true directly from the above example. If the three are parallel and distinct, we know from elementary geometry that if r║s and s║t then r║t. So, the relation is transitive.

Therefore, as the relation is transitive, symmetric and reflexive is an equivalence relation.

-10= \frac{-b}{4}
Common denominator is 4
4(-10)=  \frac{\not 4(-b)}{\not 4}
4(-10)=-b
-40=-b
Multiply by 1
b=40
The answer is: b=40

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-4, 6) and (-6, 20)?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have two points, we can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 20-6)/(-6- -4)

    = ( 20-6)/ ( -6+4)

    = 14/-2

    = -7

Given a data set consisting of 33 unique whole number observations, its five-number summary is:
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

given a data set of 33 unique whole number observation,its five number sumary is [16, 29, 40 ,54, 67]

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-th percentile in an ordered (from low to high) data set is a value such that p% of the data is less than that value. The quartiles of a data set are the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles. (The 25th percentile is usually called the first quartile, the 50th percentile is usually called the median, and the 75th percentile is usually called the third quartile.)

The formula for finding the location (or position) of the (approximate) pth percentile in an ordered (from low to high) data set is  

L p=(n+1).p/100

For example, in the data set  [2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18]

the (approximate) 60th percentile is located at position  

L 60=(9+1).60/100=6

that is, the sixth data point (the value 12) is at the (approximate) 60th percentile.(Actually, only 55.6% of the data is below a 12.)
