Answer:

PQ and RS are parallel to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

for two lines to be parallel slope should be equal
for two lines to be perpendicular product of slope should be -1
_______________________________________________

Lets find the slope of PQ and RS

for PQ P(2, -1), Q(-3,-1), R(-11, 9), S(-7, 9)

slope PQ = (-1 -(-1))/(-3 -2) = (-1 + 1)/5 = 0/5 = 0

Slope RS = (9-9)/(-7 - (-11) ) = 0/4 = 0

Since

slope PQ = slope RS = 0

Hence PQ and RS are parallel to each other

What is the difference between discrete vs continuous data

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

With continuous data, it is possible to find the midpoint of any two distinct values. For instance, if h = height of tree, then its possible to find the middle height of h = 10 and h = 7 (which in this case is h = 8.5)

On the other hand, discrete data can't be treated the same way (eg: if n = number of people, then there is no midpoint between n = 3 and n = 4).

-------------------------------------

With that in mind, we have the following answers

1) Continuous data. Time values are always continuous. Any two distinct time values can be averaged to find the midpoint

2) Continuous data. Like time values, temperatures can be averaged as well.

3) Discrete data. Place locations in a race or competition are finite and we can't have midpoints. We can't have a midpoint between 9th and 10th place for instance.

4) Continuous data. We can find the midpoint and it makes sense to do so when it comes to speeds.

5) Discrete data. This is a finite number and countable. We cannot have 20.5 freshman for instance.

Which statement describes the key difference between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA?

scZoUnD [109]

"Traditional IRA contributions are made with pretax dollars, while Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars" statement describes the key difference between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A traditional IRA that is an individual retirement account enables investors to channel pre-tax income into assets that can increase tax postponed. Donations to a traditional IRA might be tax deductible focusing on the earnings, tax filing record and other considerations of the taxpayers.

A Roth IRA is a tax-favored retirement savings account that enables you to tax-free withdraw your savings. These are sponsored with after-tax dollars; tax-deductible investments are not. But the cash is tax-free until one begin withdrawing funds.
