I'm going to use the slope formula which is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points the line goes through
Slope of line PQ
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 - (-7))
m = (-6 - 8)/(-5 + 7)
m = (-14)/(2)
m = -7
The slope of line PQ is -7
Slope of RS
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (0 - (-5))/(-2 - 3)
m = (0 + 5)/(-2 - 3)
m = (5)/(-5)
m = -1
The slope of line RS is -1
Because the slopes are NOT equal (one is -7 and the other is -1), this means the lines are NOT parallel.

Answer: Choice B) No, the lines have unequal slopes
Answer:
The quadratic equation has one real root with a multiplicity of 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a quadratic equation:
You can find the Discriminant with this formula:
<em> </em>In this case you have the following quadratic equation:
Where:
Therefore, when you substitute these values into the formula, you get that the discriminant is this:
Since , the quadratic equation has one real root with a multiplicity of 2 .
