You would use the distributive property.
Geometry ahh I wish I could help. :'(
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
First, let's find the slope of the two lines. To find the slope, you divide the difference in the y-values by the difference in the x-values.
LINE M
7-12/3-6=-5/-3= <u>5/3</u>
LINE N
1-6/-5+2=-5/-3=<u>5/3</u>
If lines have the same slopes, they are parallel because they are always moving at the same incline and therefore will never meet. This matches what answer A says.
Therefore, the correct answer is A) Lines m and n have the same slope so they are parallel.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
Answer:
Distance= 6.6 miles
Bearing= N 62.854°W
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's determine angle b first
Angle b=20° (alternate angles)
Using cosine rule
Let the distance between the liner and the port be x
X² =8.8²+2.4²-2(8.8)(2.4)cos20
X²= 77.44 + 5.76-(39.69)
X²= 43.51
X= √43.51
X= 6.596
X= 6.6 miles
Let's determine the angles within the triangle using sine rule
2.4/sin b = 6.6/sin20
(2.4*sin20)/6.6= sin b
0.1244 = sin b
7.146= b°
Angle c= 180-20-7.146
Angle c= 152.854°
For the bearing
110+7.146= 117.146
180-117.146= 62.854°
Bearing= N 62.854°W
The answer is: No solution.
Explanation:
The slopes are the same (-1/3 is the same as -2/6 because -2/6 can be simplified to -1/3) but the y intercepts are different.
