Answer: A and B are the legs and C is the hypotenuse
Let's first write the equation given
x²+6x-13=0
They have told us to use "Completing the square" method.
So we need write x²+6x-13 as a whole square.
x²+6x-13=0
x²+(2*3*x)-9-4 = 0
x²+(2*3*x)-3²=4
Now we can write the LHS as:
(x - 3)²=2²
Hence,
x-3 can either be 2 or -2
Now,
x - 3=2
x=5
Or,
x - 3=-2
x=1
Therefore now we know that x can either be 1 or 5. So the correct answer is Option B.
Answer: They are parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are parallel , then they must have the same slope and if two lines are perpendicular , the product of their slope must be -1.
To check this , we must calculate the slope of the two lines given.
Slope =
from the first point
= 2
= 1
= 5
= -1
substituting the values
slope 1 = 1 - 2 / -3 - 5
slope1 = -1 / -8
slope 1 = 1/8
Using the same format to calculate the slope of the second line
= -2
= 0
= -1
= 15
slope 2 = 0 - (-2) / 15 - (-1)
slope 2 = 2/16
slope 2 = 1/8
Since slope 1 = slope 2 , this implies that the lines are parallel
