Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x₁, y₁) = (19 , -4) & (x₂ ,y₂) = (17, -20)

![= \frac{-20-[-4]}{17-19}\\\\= \frac{-20+4}{17-19}\\\\= \frac{-16}{-2}\\\\= 8](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-20-%5B-4%5D%7D%7B17-19%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-20%2B4%7D%7B17-19%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-16%7D%7B-2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%208)
m = 8
Parallel lines have same slope.
Parallel slope = 8
Slope of perpendicular line = 
Perpendicular slope = 
150 = 5 classes
1 class = 30
Lines b and c
they both go up 2 and over 1 (rise over run is slope)

Define x :
-----------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
The other two numbers will be x + 1 and x + 2.
-----------------------------------------
Construct Equation :
-----------------------------------------
Sum of these numbers is 72
⇒ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
-----------------------------------------
Solve for x :
-----------------------------------------
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 69
x = 23
-----------------------------------------
Find the numbers :
-----------------------------------------
1st number = x = 23
2nd number = x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
3rd number = x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer : The numbers are 23, 24 and 25.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
1)Evaluate the left-hand side expression at the given value to get a number.
2)Evaluate the right-hand side expression at the given value to get a number.
3)See if the numbers match.
