Answer:
22 units
Step-by-step explanation:
#2
2x - 4y = -2
2x + 3y = -16
------------------subtract
-7y = 14
y = 14/-7
y = -2
2x - 4y = -2
2x - 4(-2) = -2
2x + 8 = -2
2x = -2 -8
2x = -10
x = -10/2
x = -5
answer x = -2 and y = -5
check:
2(-5)- 4(-2) = -2
-10 +8 = -2
-2 = -2.....true
2x + 3y = -16
2(-5)+3(-2) = -16
-10 + (-6) = -16
-16 = -16...true
M, or slope, is needed to define if a set of lines are parallel or not.
D one pair of opposite sides is parallel is the answer because trapezoids are another pair angled towards each and if you follow long enough they will intersect. A couldn't be true because if ALL the angles are corresponding angles you would need two pairs of parallel lines. B isn't correct because the sides would need to be parallel for that too. C well you've already proved they don't have two pairs of parallel lines.
Hope this helps :)
