Answer:
Perpendicular would be -7
Parallel would be 7
Because m = slope and the m is connected to the x (mx)
You will have a better chance of winning because your chance before you opened the first door was 1/3 (since there was 3 doors) but now, you have 2 doors left, so it is a 50% chance that you will win.
Assuming no border or waste, 9m by 16 m translates to 29.52' x 52.49'.
use 32/8=4 sheets of plywood to cover the width on the 8' side.
For the length, use 52/4=13 pieces on the 4' side.
This gives a total of 4*13=52 sheets.
The extra 0.49' x 29.52 can be covered using the extra from the last four sheets for the width.
Check:
Area to be covered: 29.52*52.49=1550 sq. ft.
Area of plywood supplied = 52*4'x8'= 1664 sq. ft, > 1550 sq.ft.
Choice (B) is true.
For (A): 5 is not a divisor of 14, whose only divisors are 1, 2, 7, and 14.
For (B): the factors of 10 are: 1, 2, 5, and 10. The factors of 15 are: 1, 3, 5, and 15. As we can see, the only, and greatest, common factor is 5.
For (C): 3 is not a factor of 13, which is a prime number.
For (D): again, 3 is not a factor of 14.
