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.

When x pounds of force is applied to one end of a lever that is L feet long, the resulting force y on the other end is
nadezda [96]
The question is worded poorly, but it looks like you have a lever in equilibrium, with a force x at a distance d from the fulcrum, and a force y at a distance L - d from the fulcrum. You already have the equilibrium formula for this situation:

xd = y(L - d)

If you know x, y, and d, you can solve for the length L.

X/2 is greater than or equal to -4
irga5000 [103]
\frac{x}{2}≥-4

Pretend the greater than or equal to sign is an equal sign, we will substitute it back in later.

x/2 = -4
Multiply both sides by 2 to get x alone
x = -8
Substitute the greater than or equal to sign back in and voila!
x≥-8

Complete the square to form a perfect square trinomial x^2-14x+
fiasKO [112]
Answer: x^2 - 14x + 49

Explanation:

1) Divide the coefficient of x by 2:

14 / 2 = 7

2) so you have to add 7^2 = 49

x^2 - 14x + 49

3) that trinomial is equivalent to:

=> (x - 7)^2

4) prove that using the formula (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

(x - 7)^2  = x^2 - 14x + 49

Then you have to add 49 to complete the square. and form a perfect square trinomial.
