When lines are parallel, they have the same slope, so the statement "line a and line b have the same slope" is TRUE


When lines are perpendicular, the slopes are opposites (the sign and number is flipped)

For example:

slope is 2

perpendicular line's slope is -1/2

slope is -1

perpendicular line's slope is 1/1 or 1

slope is 4/5

perpendicular line's slope is -5/4


When you multiply(the product) perpendicular slopes together, they equal -1. Since line c is perpendicular to line a and line b, the product of their slopes is -1.(so this is true)


The statement "the sum of the slopes of line a and b is 0" is false because if they have the same slope, when added together the result would not be 0. The slopes of line a and line b is -2/3, so the sum would be -4/3.

Answer:

Option A) The sum of slopes of a and b is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

Line ~a \parallel Line ~b

Line ~c \perp Line ~a\\Line ~c \perp Line ~b

We have to find the false statement.

a) The sum of slopes of a and b is zero

The given statement is false as the parallel lines have same slope and their sum can only be zero if the slopes of both the parallel lines is zero.

b) Lines a and b have same slope

The statement is true. Parallel lines have same slope.

c) The product of slopes of line a and line c is -1

The statement is true.

As two perpendicular lines with slope m_1, m_2 respectively, satisfies the property:

m_1 \times m_2 = -1

d) The product of slopes of line b and line c is -1

The statement is true.

Again, as two perpendicular lines with slope m_1, m_2 respectively, satisfies the property:

m_1 \times m_2 = -1

Which best explains the relationship between lines a and b? They are skew and will never intersect. They are parallel and will n
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

They are skew and will never intersect.

Step-by-step explanation:

see attachment for the missing figure

Lines a and b are skew lines since they are not parallel and they do not intersect. The explanation that they don't intersect  is on the grounds that each line is in a parallel plane. Parallel means heading off to the same direction but neither converging nor diverging.

Abigail and her mom are back-to-school shopping at new Navy . Select items are on sale at 43% off their regular price . What is
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

$12.54

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to apply the sale to the original price. In this case, you would have to multiply 22 and 43% to get $9.46. Now, you have to subtract 9.46 from 22 to get 12.54.

What do the differences between the points (as shown on the graph) represent?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

They represent the rise and run of the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the x-axis of the points represents the "run" of the graph (or how much you should run along x-axis to get to the next point.)

The difference between the y-axis of of the points represents the "rise" of the graph (or how much you should rise up the y-xis to get to the next point).

The ratio of rise to run is the slope of the graph, which tells us  how many steps should we take on the y-axis for every step we move forward on the x-axis.

A company produces candy bags that each hold about 528 cubic inches of candy. Each bag is filled with any mixture of lollipop ca
enyata [817]

361 lollipop candies or 697 gummy bear candies fills the bag of volume 528 in.³, which gives the following possible equation;

  • 1.46•l + 0.76•g = 528

<h3>How can the correct equation be found?</h3>

Volume of candy bag = 528 in.³

Number of lollipop candies the bag can hold = 361 candies

Number of gummy bear candies the bag can hold = 697 candies

Therefore;

1 \: lollipop =  \frac{528}{361}  =  1.46

1 \: gummy \: bear =  \frac{528}{697}  =  0.76

Which gives the following equation;

  • 1.46•l + 0.76•g = 528
