Answer:

A) parallel

It has the same slope.

y-intercept is 6.

So,

m = -5

b = + 6

y = -5x + 6

B) perpendicular

It has a negative reciprocal of the slope.

-5 = 1/5

y-intercept is 6

m = 1/5

b = + 6

y = 1/5x + 6

4 tables. 4*4 is 16, meaning that even if 4 players want to sit together it doesn't make a difference. With 16 players and 4 at a table we are going to need 4 tables.

5. What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 4) and (7, 1)?

just olya [345]

Answer:

Slope: $-\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Use slope formula to find the slope

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2- x1}=\frac{4-1}{-2-7}=\frac{3}{-9} =-\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore the slope of a line that passes through (-2, 4) and (7, 1) is $-\frac{1}{3}$
