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}

If the length of JK is 3x and the length of LM is 12x and the length of the entire line JM is 25x , find the length of KL.
Leona [35]

Answer:

10x.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

JK = 3x

LM = 12x

JM = 25x

Let as consider the line as shown in the below figure.

From the figure it is clear that,

JK+KL+LM=JM

3x+KL+12x=25x

KL+15x=25x

KL=25x-15x

KL=10x

Therefore, the length of KL is 10x.

Pls helpppppp thanks!!!!!!!<br> :)
Lena [83]

Answer:

If i did this right the answer would be 69

I converted the inches to feet (might be my first mistake)

so i get 2.5 X 1 X 1 to get 2.5

i then multiply that by 62.4 to get 156

then 225-156 = 69
