If two parallel planes are cut by a third plane, then the lines of intersection are parallel.

1 answer:

3 0

True.

Let p1 and p2 be the two parallel planes. Let n1 be the normal vector of plane p1 (which is a vector perpendicular to the plane). If p2 is parallel to p1, then n1 is also a normal vector for p2.

Let p3 be the third secant plane, and n3 be its normal vector.

The direction vector of the intersection line of two planes is given by the cross products of their normal vectors (this is due to the fact that the cross product of two vectors is orthogonal two both of them, and that the direction vector of the intersection must be orthogonal two both normal vectors). So, the direction vectors of the two lines are:

v1 = n1 × n3
v2 = n1 × n3

The are equal. Hence, the lines are parallel.

WHATS THE SLOPE <br> FAST CORRECT ANSWER = Thanks + Brainliest + 5 stars + 8 points

Answer:

The slope of g(x) is: $m=0$

The slope of f(x) is: $m-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to know that:

1. By definition the slope of any horizontal line is zero ( $m=0$ )

2. The slope of a line can be calculated using the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

In this case, you can observe in the graph of the function g(x) given in the exercise that it is an horizontal line. Then, based on the explanation given before, you can conclude that its slope is:

$m=0$

To find the slope of the function f(x) shown in the table attached, you need to follow these steps:

- Choose two points from the table:

$(0,3)$ and $(4,-1)$
