Step-by-step explanation:

the x distance from A to B is 3 (from -1 to 2), and the y distance is 15 (from -4 to 11).

the x distance from C to D is also 3 (from 1 to 4), but the y distance is 9 (from 1 to 10).

so, the slopes are different

AB : 15/3 = 5

CD : 9/3 = 3

and the lines are therefore not parallel.

perpendicular slopes are simply inverting y and x in the ratio and flip the sign (from - to + and vice versa). but that is not the case here either (just to start - both slopes are positive).

so, the 2 lines are "neither".

I think answer is A
Because slope=rise/run
Rise is 3
Run is 2
But it will be negative because of the direction of slope

27 + (8-5) -am looking for the answer of number 7

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The answer to the equation from question 7 is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

In question 7, we are given an equation.

2³ + (8 - 5)² - 3

First, subtract 5 from 8 in the parentheses.

2³ + 3² - 3

Next, solve the exponents for 2³ and 3².

8 + 9 - 3

Add 8 to 9.

17 - 3

Subtract 3 from 17.

So, the answer to this equation from question 7 is 14.

I need help thanks.

If this shape is trapezium
m (<D) = m (<C)
since AB parallel to CD
m (<C) + m (<A) = 180°
m (<C) = 180 - 125 = 55°
m (<D) = 55°
mark me as brainlest, please
