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.

Feliz [49]

Answer:

f(1)=4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1)=3(1)^4-(1)^2+4(1)-2

f(1)=3(1)-1+4-2

f(1)=3-1+4-2

f(1)=4

Answer:

i would say the 3rd one

Step-by-step explanation:

Given three points, it is possible to draw a circle that passes through all three. The perpendicular bisectors of a chords always passes through the center of the circle. By this method we find the center and can then draw the circle. This is virtually the same as constructing the circumcircle a triangle.
