Answer:

Option c) Transitivity

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

If A exceeds B in some property and B exceeds C, then A must also exceed C.

We have to define the property shown by A,B and C.

Transitivity:

It is a mathematical property which states that between three numbers if first and second share the property, second and third share the property, then according to transitive property, the property holds between first and third as well.

Thus, A, B and C here shows the transitive property.

The correct answer is

Option c) Transitivity

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since its changing the y, we now it has to be outside the x. So its not A or D. Since it moves up, its a plus. This means its not c, so it has to be B.

The equation of the line segment through A and B is given as
-7x + 3y = -21.5

In standard form,
3y = 7x - 21.5
y = (7/3)x - 7.1667
Line AB has a slope of 7/3.

Let the equation of line segment PQ be
y = mx + b

Because line segments AB and PQ are perpendicular, therefore
(7/3)*m = -1
m = -3/7

The equation of PQ is
y = -(3/7)x + b
To find b, note that the line passes through the point (7,6). Therefore
6 = -(3/7)*7 + b
6 = -3 + b
b = 9
The equation of PQ is
y = - (3/7)x + 9
or
7y = -3x + 63
3x + 7y = 63

Answer: 3x + 7y = 63
