Answer:

finding slope: The slope will be the same for a straight line no matter which two points you pick as you know. All you need to do is to calculate the difference in the y coordinates of the 2 points and divide that by the difference of the x coordinates of the points(rise over run). That will give you the slope.

parallel: We can determine from their equations whether two lines are parallel by comparing their slopes. If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel. If the slopes are different, the lines are not parallel. Unlike parallel lines, perpendicular lines do intersect.

hope this helps!

Answer:

The slope of a line is the rise/run of how far away the points are from each other. Say you have the equation y=3/4x-6, the slope is 3/4 so that means you plot your first point at -6 on the y-axis, because that is your y-intercept, and then you will go up 3, right 4. You will continue to do this until you have enough points to make a line. When two lines are parallel, they will always have the same slope. So the lines y=1/2x+4 and y=1/2x-3 are parallel because not only do they have the same slope, they do not intersect at all, which is a requirement for parallel lines. I hope this helps!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x^2-8x+12}{x^2-7x+10}\\\\x^2-7x+10\ne0\ \iff\ x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{49-40}}{2}\ne0\ \iff\ x\ne5\ \wedge\ x\ne2\\\\\\\dfrac{x^2-8x+12}{x^2-7x+10}=\dfrac{x^2-2x-6x+12}{x^2-2x-5x+10}=\dfrac{x(x-2)-6(x-2)}{x(x-2)-5(x-2)}=\\\\\\ =\dfrac{(x-2)(x-6)}{(x-2)(x-5)}=\dfrac{x-6}{x-5}\\\\\\f(x)=x-6\\\\g(x)=x-5$

If BC = 61 and AB = 82, what is the length of AC?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

54.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2.

Plug the given values in to get 61^2+b^2=82^2

61^2 is 3,721 and 82^2 is 6,724.

6,724-3,721 is 3,003.

The square root of 3,003, rounded to a reasonable value, is 54.8.

The length of AC is 54.8.
