<span>b/a=c/d
Two lines are parallel to each other if they have the same slope. So let's look at the options and see which one matches that statement.
b/aâ‹…c/d=â’1
* This is checking to see if the two lines are perpendicular to each other. Almost the exact opposite of parallel. So this is the wrong answer.
b/a=c/d
* b/a is a legitimate slope. c/d is also a good slope. And they're being checked to see if they're equal to each other. So this is the correct answer. But let's see if the next two options will give us a chuckle or two.
b/a=d/c
* b/a is OK. d/c almost looks ok, check the figure. And d/c is NOT a slope. The slope is delta Y over delta X. And d/c is delta X over delta Y. The inverse of the slope. So comparing those two values is meaningless. So it's a wrong answer.
b/aâ‹…d/c=â’1
* And they're trying the inverse of the slope trick again. WRONG. And they're checking if it's perpendicular. Also wrong. So definitely not a good choice.</span>
Every straight line graph has an equation in the same form:
y = (slope of the line) x + (y-intercept) .
-- The slope of the line is
(how far it goes UP, going left to right between any 2 points)
divided by
(how far it goes left to right between the same 2 points) .
The line on this graph has a slope of + 1/2 .
-- The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
The line on this graph crosses the y-axis at -1 .
y = (slope of the line) x + (y-intercept) .
y = ( 0.5 ) x ( - 1 ) .
Answer:
4.4 < 2.5 +x
She needs to crochet at least 1.9 more ft
Step-by-step explanation:
She wants the scarf to be at least 4.4 ft long
4.4< scarf
The scarf is 2.5 ft long now
She will crochet x more ft
4.4 < 2.5 +x
Subtract 2.5 from each side
4.4 -2.5 < 2.5+x-2.5
1.9 <x
She needs to crochet at least 1.9 more ft
Answer:
of what?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Top row 2nd one
Step-by-step explanation:
Distrube out .5 first and the equation will be .5x+2
Then add 3 to both sides and you get y=.5x+5
