Answer:

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope, sometimes referred to as gradient in mathematics, is a number that measures the steepness and direction of a line, or a section of a line connecting two points, and is usually denoted by m. Generally, a line's steepness is measured by the absolute value of its slope,

Line A is parallel to line D.

Line A is perpendicular to line C.

Line C is perpendicular to line D.

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line through (-1,-17) and (3,11)

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-17) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (3,11)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{11 - (-17)}{3 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{11 + 17}{3 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{28}{4}\\\\m = 7\\\\$

The slope of line A is 7

-------------

Now let's find the slope of line B.

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,4) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (7,-5)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{-5 - 4}{7 - 0}\\\\m = -\frac{9}{7}\\\\$

-------------

Now onto line C.

$(x_1,y_1) = (7,1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (0,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 1}{0 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{1}{-7}\\\\m = -\frac{1}{7}\\\\$

-------------

Lastly we have line D.

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-6) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (1,8)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{8 - (-6)}{1 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{8 + 6}{1 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{14}{2}\\\\m = 7\\\\$

------------------------------

Here's a summary of the slopes we found

$\begin{array}{|c|c|} \cline{1-2}\text{Line} & \text{Slope}\\\cline{1-2}\text{A} & 7\\\cline{1-2}\text{B} & -9/7\\\cline{1-2}\text{C} & -1/7\\\cline{1-2}\text{D} & 7\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

Recall that parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. This fact makes Line A parallel to line D.

Lines A and C are perpendicular to one another, because the slopes 7 and -1/7 multiply to -1. In other words, -1/7 is the negative reciprocal of 7, and vice versa. These two lines form a 90 degree angle.

Lines C and D are perpendicular for the same reasoning as the previous paragraph.

Line B unfortunately is neither parallel nor perpendicular to any of the other lines mentioned.

You can use a graphing tool like Desmos or GeoGebra to verify these answers.

Answer:

28 (length' unit)²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of all A rectangle is 4*8 =32
The area of the missing portion of the rectangle is equal to the area of the triangle ½*(2)*(4)=4
the area of this shape equal to

the area of all A rectangle - The area of the missing portion of the rectangle = 32 - 4 = 28 (length' unit)²
