Answer:

-2x-2y=-8

-4x-8y=-20

From the 1st eqn

Dividing through by 2

you have

-x-y=-4

Multiply through by -(minus)

x+y=4

x=4-y

Substitute into eqn 2

-4x-8y=-20

-4(4-y)-8y=-20

-16 + 4y - 8y = -20

-4y = -20 +16

-4y = -4

y= 1

Substitute into any of the other eqn's to get x

x= 4-y

x= 4-1

x=3

Find the slope of the line that is (a) parallel and (b) perpendicular to the line through the pair of points.

ddd [48]

Answer:

a) The slope of the line is parallel to the another line m=4

b) The slope of the line is perpendicular to the another line m= $\frac{-1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1:-

Slope of a line :-

If θ is the inclination of a line 'l' then tanθ is called the slope or gradient of the line 'l'.The slope of a line is denoted by m=tanθ

The slope of a line given two points m= $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Parallel lines:-

Two non-vertical lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are parallel

Perpendicular lines:-

Two non-vertical lines are perpendicular to each other if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

$m_{2} = \frac{-1}{m_{1} } \\$

Step 2:-

a)The slope of a line when given two points (-1,-4) and (0,0)

$m = \frac{0-(-4)}{0-(-1)} =4$

Two non-vertical lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are parallel

$m_{1} = m_{2}$

Therefore the slope of the line that is parallel to the another line

$m_{1} =m_{2} =4$

Step 3:-

b) Two non-vertical lines are perpendicular to each other if and only if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

$m_{2} = \frac{-1}{m_{1} } \\$

$m_{2} =\frac{-1}{4}$

Therefore the slope of the line is perpendicular to the another line is

$m=\frac{-1}{4}$

Can a chord also be classified as a radius?

klemol [59]

No.

A chord is a straight segment that joins two points of the circumference. It starts at a point in the circumference and ends at other point in the circumference.

The radius goes from the center of the circle (which is not on the circumference) to one point of the circumference.

The diameter is a chord (the largest chord possible); but not the radius.

Anon25 [30]

Answer: b) τ = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Amount of salt (x)____% body fat(y)

0.2 _______________20

0.3 _______________30

0.4 _______________22

0.5 _______________30

0.7 _______________38

0.9 _______________23

1.1 ________________30

The correlation Coefficient as obtained from the online pearson correlation Coefficient calculator is 0.3281 = 0.3 (to one decimal place) which implies that a weak positive correlation or relationship exists between the preferred amount of salt taken to the percentage body weight of an individual. This is because the value is positive and closer to 0 than 1. The closer the weaker the degree of correlation. With positive values implying a positive relationship (that is an increase in variable A leads to a corresponding increase in B and vice-versa).
