Answer:

a) when the slopes are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of lines can be used to define the nature of lines.

Two parallel lines have equal slopes and the product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1.

Hence, we can conclude that two distinct non-vertical lines parallel when

a) when the slopes are equal ..

So, option a is correct ..

The distance between two locations, A and B is calculated using a third location C at a distance of 15 miles from

Rufina [12.5K]

<h3>Answer: approximately 6.3 miles</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

See the diagram below. The two given angles B = 105 and C = 20 are used to help find angle A

A+B+C = 180

A+105+20 = 180

A+125 = 180

A = 180-125

A = 55

Then we use the law of sines to find the side length c

sin(A)/a = sin(C)/c

sin(55)/15 = sin(20)/c

c*sin(55) = 15*sin(20) ... cross multiply

c = 15*sin(20)/sin(55) .... divided both sides by sin(55)

c = 6.26294249724791 .... value is approximate

c = 6.3 ....... rounding to one decimal place

The point M(-6, -4) is translated 2 units right. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, M′?

fredd [130]

B) (-4, -4)

When moving to the right you are moving to a more POSITIVE region on the x-axis; meaning, the y-value (vertical axis) does not get affected unless you’re moving up or down.

Remember: (-6, -4)
X = -6
Y = -4

If you move 2 units to the right (x-axis) you go from -6 + 2 which equals -4. And again, you’re not moving up and down so your
y-value stays the same and your new coordinates are (-4, -4)
