If two lines are parallel which statement must be true? A.Their slopes are zero. B.Their slopes are negative reciprocals. C. The
stepan [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same gradient.

A line with a slope of zero is a horizontal line. Although two lines that have a slope of zero will result in two parallel lines, not all parallel lines are horizontal lines. Since the question is asking for which statement <u>must</u> be true, option A is incorrect.

If the slopes of two lines are negative reciprocals, they are perpendicular to each other. This is because the product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1. Let the gradient of the first line be A and the other be B.

AB= -1

A =   - \frac{ 1}{B}

B =  -  \frac{1}{A}

Thus, option B is incorrect too.

Undefined slopes gives vertical lines. Like option A, if two lines have an undefined slope, they will be parallel to each other. However since parallel lines are nit necessarily vertical lines, option C is also incorrect.

Determine which of the lines are parallel and which of the lines are perpendicular. Select all of the statements that are true.
slega [8]

Answers:

Line A is parallel to line D.

Line A is perpendicular to line C.

Line C is perpendicular to line D.

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line through (-1,-17) and (3,11)

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-17) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (3,11)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{11 - (-17)}{3 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{11 + 17}{3 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{28}{4}\\\\m = 7\\\\

The slope of line A is 7

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

Now let's find the slope of line B.

(x_1,y_1) = (0,4) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (7,-5)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{-5 - 4}{7 - 0}\\\\m = -\frac{9}{7}\\\\

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

Now onto line C.

(x_1,y_1) = (7,1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (0,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 1}{0 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{1}{-7}\\\\m = -\frac{1}{7}\\\\

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

Lastly we have line D.

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-6) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (1,8)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{8 - (-6)}{1 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{8 + 6}{1 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{14}{2}\\\\m = 7\\\\

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

Here's a summary of the slopes we found

\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2}\text{Line} & \text{Slope}\\\cline{1-2}\text{A} & 7\\\cline{1-2}\text{B} & -9/7\\\cline{1-2}\text{C} & -1/7\\\cline{1-2}\text{D} & 7\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}

Recall that parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. This fact makes Line A parallel to line D.

Lines A and C are perpendicular to one another, because the slopes 7 and -1/7 multiply to -1. In other words, -1/7 is the negative reciprocal of 7, and vice versa. These two lines form a 90 degree angle.

Lines C and D are perpendicular for the same reasoning as the previous paragraph.

Line B unfortunately is neither parallel nor perpendicular to any of the other lines mentioned.

You can use a graphing tool like Desmos or GeoGebra to verify these answers.

Solve for the width in the formula for the area of a rectangle.
madam [21]
A = L * W
A / L = W <==

when A = 42 and W = 16.8
A / L = W
42/16.8 = W
2.5 = W <=== width = 2.5 inches
