PLEASE HELP!!!! Use the table below to match the slopes to the lines.
1 answer:
Answer: Check out the filled out chart below.
Row 1: 1/4, 1/4, -4
Row 2: -2, -2, 1/2
Row 3: 3, 3, -1/3
=========================================
Explanation:
Parallel lines have equal slopes. So if the original line has slope 1/4, then any parallel line will also have slope 1/4. The only thing different is the y intercept.
Perpendicular slopes multiply to -1 assuming neither line is vertical. For row 1, the perpendicular slope is -4 which multiplies with the original slope 1/4 to get -1.
Put another way, the perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of the original slope. For row 2, the perpendicular slope is 1/2 because we flip the fraction and the sign for the original slope -2 = -2/1

<u>Given</u>:
A rhino runs at a speed of about 28 miles per hour.
We need to determine the speed in feet per second.
<u>Converting miles to feet:</u>
The miles can be converted to feet by multiplying 5280 with 28 miles per hour.
Thus, we have;
Thus, the speed of the rhino in feet per hour is 147840
<u>Converting hours to seconds:</u>
The hours can be converted into seconds by dividing 147840 by 3600 (Because an hour has 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour)
Thus, we get;
Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get;
Therefore, the speed of the rhino is 41 feet per second.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
