The total number of leaves that was collected by Lisa is the product of the number of days in a week and the number of leaves she collected per tree. This is shown below, (7 trees / week) x (7 leaves / 1 tree) = 49 leaves / weekThus, Lisa collected 49 leaves in a week.
Answer:
Option A: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image of the triangle given, we can see that:
XM = ZM
We are given that:
XM = 2x + 2 and ZM = 4x - 8
Thus;
2x + 2 = 4x - 8
Rearrange to get;
4x - 2x = 8 + 2
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
Thus, XM = 2(5) + 2
XM = 12
4x + 2y = 8 (1)
8x + 4y = -4y (2)
A) Two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient
- putting both equations into the gradient- intercept form ( y = mx + c where m is the gradient)
(1) 4x + 2y = 8
2y = 8 - 4x
y = -2x + 4
(2) 8x + 4y = -4y
<span> </span>8x = -4y - 4y
y =

y = -x
<span>
Thus the gradient of the two equations are different and as such the two lines are not parallel</span>
B) When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradient is -1

p = (-2) * (-1)
p = 2
<span> ∴
the two lines are not perpendicular either.</span>
Thus these lines are SKEWED LINES
