On a coordinate plane, 2 lines are shown. Line P Q has points (negative 5, 3) and (5, 1). Line R S has points (negative 4, negat

ive 2) and (0, negative 4).
Which statement best explains the relationship between lines PQ and RS?
They are parallel because their slopes are equal.
They are parallel because their slopes are negative reciprocals.
They are not parallel because their slopes are not equal.
They are not parallel because their slopes are negative reciprocals.

Given:

Line P Q has points (-5, 3) and (5, 1).

Line R S has points (-4, -2) and (0, -4).

To find:

The relationship between lines PQ and RS.

Solution:

If a line passing through two points, then the slope of line is

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Line P Q has points (-5, 3) and (5, 1). So, slope of line PQ is

m_1=\dfrac{1-3}{5-(-5)}

m_1=\dfrac{-2}{5+5}

m_1=\dfrac{-2}{10}

m_1=\dfrac{-1}{5}

Line R S has points (-4, -2) and (0, -4). So, slope of line RS is

m_2=\dfrac{-4-(-2)}{0-(-4)}

m_2=\dfrac{-4+2}{0+4}

m_2=\dfrac{-2}{4}

m_2=\dfrac{-1}{2}

Slopes of two parallel lines are equal.

m_1\neq m_2

They are not parallel because their slopes are not equal.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent variable is a variable that does not dependent on other variables. It is the input variable.

A dependent variable is a variable that is dependent on other variables. The dependent variable depends on the independent variable. It is the output variable.

Since porter receives 3 tickets for every dollar, this means the number of ticket is dependent on the money he spend. Therefore the money he spends (d) is the independent variable and the tickets (t) is the dependent variable.

The answer would be the first one.

I find it easier to expand the equation (you still get the same answer).

= 2 * 7x + 2 * 3y + 2 * 3
= 14x + 6y + 6

Hope this helps!
