Use slope to determine if lines PQ and RS are parallel,

Mathematics
1 answer:
liubo4ka [24]3 years ago
8 0

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

Find the equation of line b described below, in slope-intercept form
Serjik [45]

Given:

Line a is perpendicular to line b .

Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12) .

Line b passes through the point (-8, -16).

To find:

The equation of b.

Solution:

Line a passes through the points (1,-8) and (9,-12) . So, slope of line a is

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

m_a=\dfrac{-12-(-8)}{9-1}

m_a=\dfrac{-12+8}{8}

m_a=\dfrac{-4}{8}

m_a=-\dfrac{1}{2}

Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1.

m_a\times a_b=-1

-\dfrac{1}{2}\times a_b=-1

b=2

Slope of line b is 2.

If a line passing through a point (x_1,y_1) with slope m, then equation of line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Line b passing through (-8,-16) with slope 2. So, equation of line b is

y-(-16)=2(x-(-8))

y+16=2(x+8)

y+16=2x+16

Subtract 16  from both sides.

y=2x

Therefore, the equation of line b is y=2x.

Answer:

Expected value would be $ 0.896

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The price of the lottery ticket = $44800000,

Also, the probability of winning the grand prize = .000000020,

Thus, the expected value of the lottery ticket = value of the lottery ticket × probability of getting the lottery ticket

= 44800000 × .000000020

= $0.896

Note : value of lottery ticket = prize amount - cost of each ticket,

Here the cost price of a ticket is not given,

That's why we did not consider it.
