Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

where m is slope and b is the y intercept. The definition of a parallel line graphically speaking is another line of the same slope that intersects another point on the graph. Therefore, the slope of a parallel line is -1/5.

% change = (new value - old value)/(old value) * 100%
.. = (9.67 -9.74)/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.07/9.74 * 100%
.. = -0.7%

The decrease is 0.7%.

Which diagram shows lines that must be parallel lines cut by a transversal? 2 horizontal lines are intersected by a third line.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

(A) At the intersection of the first line with the third line, the bottom left angle is 115 degrees. At the intersection of the second line with the third line, the uppercase left angle is 65 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate interior angles are supplementary when parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. The first description seems to be describing alternate interior angles. (See attachment)

_____

<em>Comment on orientation</em>

If the transversal is oriented horizontally, then the descriptions of the angles will be of different angles than assumed here.
