Answer:

Let 'x' and 'y' be two different numbers.

Leila says that 75% of a number will always be greater than 50% of a number. The inequality that represents this statement is the following:

0.75x > 0.5y

Let x = 100 and y=200. We have that:

0.75(100) > 0.5(200)

75 > 100 ❌ INCORRECT ❌

Given that we found a case in which 75% of a number is not greater than 50% of a number, we can conclude that Leila's claim is incorrect.

Determine which of the lines are parallel and which of the lines are perpendicular. Select all of the statements that are true.
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Lines a and b are parallel

Lines a and c are perpendicular

Lines d and c are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Part 1) Find the slope of Line a

we have the points

(-3,4) and (3,6)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{6-4}{3+3}

m=\frac{2}{6}

simplify

m_a=\frac{1}{3}

Part 2) Find the slope of Line b

we have the points

(-10,-3) and (-8,3)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{3+3}{-8+10}

m=\frac{6}{2}

m_b=3

Part 3) Find the slope of Line c

we have the points

(0,5) and (3,-4)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-4-5}{3-0}

m=\frac{-9}{3}

m_c=-3

Part 4) Find the slope of Line d

we have the points

(4,-7) and (13,-4)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-4+7}{13-4}

m=\frac{3}{9}

simplify

m_d=\frac{1}{3}

Part 5) Compare the slopes

Remember that

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are the same

If two lines are perpendicular then their slopes are opposite reciprocal

we have

m_a=\frac{1}{3}

m_b=3

m_c=-3

m_d=\frac{1}{3}

therefore

Lines a and b are parallel (slopes are equal)

Lines a and c are perpendicular (slopes are opposite reciprocal)

Lines d and c are perpendicular (slopes are opposite reciprocal)
