<h3>Answer: The lines are perpendicular</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the two given points.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - (-5))/(6 - (-7))

m = (-4 + 5)/(6 + 7)

m = 1/13

The slope of the line through the two given points is 1/13.

This is not equal to -13, which was the slope of the first line, so the two lines are not parallel.

However, the two lines are perpendicular because multiplying the two slope values leads to -1

(slope1)*(slope2) = (-13)*(1/13) = -1

note: It might help to think of -13 as -13/1 to help multiply the fractions.

Solve the following inequality for the variable and graph the solution on the number line.
Likurg_2 [28]

The solved inequality is t > 12.

Divide both sides by 9 to isolate the variable.

9t becomes t, and 108 becomes 12.

<u>We do not flip the sign because we are dividing by a </u><u>positive</u><u>.</u>

Step one:
ALWAYS set equation equal to zero, which in this case has already been done for us.

Step two:
Figure out what formula you need to use in order to solve in this case I'd use the Quadratic formula.

a=1
b=9
c=2

Quadratic formula:
x =  \frac{ - b +  -  \sqrt{(b) ^{2}  - 4(a)(c)} }{2(a)}
Then you would plug in the information.
x = \frac{ - 9+  -  \sqrt{(9) {}^{2} - 4(1)(2) } }{2(1)}
The solve for what is underneath the square root ONLY.
x =  \frac{ - 9 +  -  \sqrt{73} }{2}
Since you cannot solve this any further, your final two answers are...
x =   \frac{ - 9 +  \sqrt{73} }{2}
x =   \frac{ - 9 -  \sqrt{73} }{2}
