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.

A box contains 20 red balls, 25 white balls, and 55 blue balls. Suppose that 10 balls are selected at random one at a time with

hoa [83]

Answer:

0.164 = 16.4% probability that at least one color will be missing from the 10 selected balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Determine the probability that at least one color will be missing from the 10 selected balls.

Red missing:

Each time, there are 55 + 25 = 80 non-red balls, out of 100. So, in each of the 10 trials, 80% = 0.8 probability of not picking a red ball. The probability that no red ball is picked is given by:

(0.8)^10 = 0.1074

White missing:

55 + 20 = 75 non-white balls, out of 100, in each trial. The probability that no white ball is picked is given by:

(0.75)^10 = 0.0563

Blue missing:

45 non-blue balls, out of 100. The probability that no blue ball is picked is given by:

(0.45)^10 = 0.0003

Total:

0.1074 + 0.0563 + 0.0003 = 0.164

0.164 = 16.4% probability that at least one color will be missing from the 10 selected balls.

Write an equation (-2, 10), (10, -14)

Brilliant_brown [7]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{10})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-14}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-14}-\stackrel{y1}{10}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{10}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}}\implies \cfrac{-24}{10+2}\implies \cfrac{-24}{12}\implies -2$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{10}=\stackrel{m}{-2}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)}]\implies y-10=-2(x+2) \\\\\\ y-10=-2x-4\implies y=-2x+6$

A Square was altered so that one side is increased by 9 inches in the other side is decreased by 2 inches.The area of the result

LekaFEV [45]

Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.

The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.

This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:

s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.

Thomas bought several paintbrushes for $4 each. He paid with a $20 bill. The expression 20 – 4n is used to determine how much ch

Tresset [83]

Answer:

the variable n represents how many of the product thomas bought

Step-by-step explanation:

20 dollars is the initial amount of money, and for every paintbrush, you have to subtract 4 dollars from thomas's initial amount, and the result of the subtraction is the amount of change he will recieve.
