Answer: a) 4

b) - 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line passes through the pair of points, ​(-1​, -4​) and ​(0​,0​)

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

Looking at the pair of points,

y2 = 0

y1 = - 4

x2 = 0

x1 = - 1

Slope = (0 - - 4)/(0 - - 1) = 4/1 = 4

a) if two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. This means that the slope of the line that is parallel to the given line is 4

b) if two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other line. This means that the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is - 1/4

Answer:

a) The slope of the line is parallel to the another line m=4

b) The slope of the line is perpendicular to the another line m=\frac{-1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1:-

<u>Slope of a line</u><u> :-</u>

If θ is the inclination of a line 'l' then tanθ is called the slope or gradient of the line 'l'.The slope of a line is denoted by m=tanθ

The slope of a line given two points m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

<u>Parallel lines:-</u>

<u>Two </u>non-vertical lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are parallel

<u>Perpendicular lines:-</u>

<u>Two </u>non-vertical lines are perpendicular to each other if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

m_{2} = \frac{-1}{m_{1} } \\

<u>Step 2</u>:-

a)The slope of a line when given two points (-1,-4) and (0,0)

m = \frac{0-(-4)}{0-(-1)} =4

<u>Two </u>non-vertical lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are parallel

m_{1} = m_{2}

Therefore the slope of the line that is parallel to the another line

m_{1} =m_{2} =4

<u>Step 3</u>:-

b) <u>Two </u>non-vertical lines are perpendicular to each other if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

m_{2} = \frac{-1}{m_{1} } \\

m_{2} =\frac{-1}{4}

Therefore the slope of the line is perpendicular to the another line is

m=\frac{-1}{4}

Find the value of x if ∡A and ∡B are supplementary angles.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

x = 30.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are supplementary when they add up to 180°.

So we know that:

C + D = 180

Supplanting we get:

(3x-44) + (5x-20) = 180

We add up the X's.

8x-44-20 = 180

8x-64 = 180

Then we send 64 to the other side adding:

8x = 180+64

8x = 180+64

8x = 244

And then the 8 goes dividing:

x = 244 : 8

x = 30.5

Solve the system by graphing: y=-3x-3 and y=2x+2. Make sure you write your answer as an ordered pair: (x,y)
Rainbow [258]

Answer: (5, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Just graph the linear equations and find where they intersect.

Algebraically, you can set them equal to each other

-3x-3=2x+2

-x-3=2

-x=5

x=5

Plug x=5 to any equation

y=2(5)+2

y=12

Lamar used 7/8 of a cup of raisins to make snacks mix. he used 3/4 of a cup of raisins to make cookies what expression could be
Alinara [238K]
The answer is B.

In order to add the two values together, you must find the least common multiple for the denominators. The denominators are 8 and 4, and the least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8. Because you have to multiply 4 by 2 to get 8, you must also multiply 3 by 2 to get 6. This will give you 6/8.

A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 405 grams and a standard deviation of 19 grams. If a fruit
cluponka [151]

Answer:

413.126

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a normal distribution :

Mean (m) = 405

Standard deviation (s) = 19

Weight of fruit will be greater than how many grams (x) if picked 17% of the time:

P(Z > x) = 0.17 ;

The Zscore for P(Z > x) = 0.17 equals 0.954 (Z probability calculator)

Zscore = (x - m) / s

0.954 = (x - 405) / 19

0.954 * 19 = x - 405

18.126 = x - 405

x = 18.126 + 405

x = 423.126

Weight will be greater than 423.126
