Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the slope of both lines and then compare these slopes:

From (-4,3) to (-5,4) entails a decrease of -1 in x and an increase of 1 in y. Thus, the slope is m = rise / run = 1/(-1) = -1.

From (0,1) to (5,0) entails an increase of 5 in x and a decrease of 1 in y. The slope here is m = rise / run = -1/5.

For these lines to be parallel, their slopes must be the same. That is not the case here, so NO, the lines are not parallel.

100% = 1

Find the value of x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

natka813 [3]

That's a question about the Pythagorean Theorem.

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of one side in a right triangle.

This theorem says that:

$\boxed{a^2 = b^2 + c^2}$

a is the hypotenuse (It's the opposite side the right angle).
b and c are cathetus (They're the adjacent sides the right angle).

Okay, now, let's go to solve this problem! In our figure, we have two cathetus. Their values are 10 and 7 and we have to find the value of x (the hypotenuse). Let's change this information in that formula.

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2\\x^2 = 10^2 + 7^2\\x^2 = 100 + 49\\x^2 = 149\\x = \sqrt{149}$

Therefore, the value of x is $\sqrt{149}$ .

I hope I've helped. :D

Literally worth 100 POINTS answer the question!!!! WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST but only if work is shown and answer is actually CORREC

True [87]

The answer is 9/16 (decimal form:0.5625)

Since you have a multiply 2 and a divide 2, they cancel each other out (so you can remove both)
(1/2)^2 + 1/4 + (1/4)^2

Simplify both fractions with exponents
1/4 + 1/4 + 1/16

Add both 1/4
2/4= 1/2

1/2 + 1/16 = 9/16

Please give brainliest!!
