Answer:

The correct answer is neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the relationship between the lines, find the slope of each. You can do this by using the slope formula.

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

m = (4 - 1)/(4 - -8)

m = 3/12

m = 1/4

Now do so for the second line.

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

m = (-3 - -7)/(9 - -9)

m = 4/18

m = 2/9

Since they are not the same and not opposite/reciprocal, then we know they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Answer: Perpendicular. Step-by-step explanation: Find the slopes of each line through Line a: m = (-10-4) / (8--4) = -14/12 = -7/6 Line b: m = (20-8) / (18 -4) = 12/14 = 6/7 When lines are parallel, they have the same slope. Since -7/2≠6/7, they are not parallel. When lines are perpendicular, the product of the slopes equals -1. -7/6 x 6/7 = -1 The product is -1, hence they are perpendicular lines.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

2 ounces of clay is left in the bucket

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of clay in the bucket = 12 ounce

Ari used 1/6th of the clay in the bucket and Greg used 2/3 of the clay in the bucket

Hence, the remaining clay in the bucket

12 - 1/6 *12 - 2/3 * 12

12 - 2-8
