Line m passes through the points (5, 1) and (8, 6) while line n passes through the points (-4, 3) and (-1, 8). Which statement a

ccurately describes the relationship between the two lines? A. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are perpendicular. B. Lines m and n have opposite reciprocal slopes so they are perpendicular. C. Lines m and n have opposite reciprocal slopes so they are parallel. D. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are parallel.

Find the equations of the lines...

First find the slope...(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

m=(6-1)/(8-5)=5/3 and it passes through (5,1) so

y=mx+b becomes:

y=5x/3+b and using (5,1)

1=5(5)/3+b

1=25/3+b

3/3-25/3=b

b=-22/3 so 

y1=(5x-22)/3

.... now y2...

m=(8-3)/(-1--4)=5/3 (note it has the same slope as y1...

y=5x/3+b and using the point (-1,8)

8=5(-1)/3+b

8=-5/3+b

24/3+5/3=b

b=29/3, now note that the y-intercept is different...

y2=(5x+29)/3

Since these lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel to each other. (and will never intersect.)

Which of the equations shows an application of the Zero Property of Multiplication? A. 25+0=25 B. 13(3)= C. 0∙2=0 D. (34−2)−(34+
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

0∙2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Zero Property of multiplication is as follows :

The product of a number and 0 is equal to 0.

In option (c), 0 is multiplied by 2 and as a result, we get 0 as the answer.

It means,

0∙2=0

Hence, option (c) i.e. 0∙2=0 shows the Zero Property of Multiplication.

Ross has to fill up a 300 gallon tank. There are already 75
stepan [7]

Answer: He needs 9 hours  to finish the task.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, first we have to subtract the gallons of water already in the tank (75) to the total capacity of the tank (300).

300-75 = 225

He needs to fill 225 gallons.

Since the pump Ross uses can fill 25 gallons of water per hour, the proportion is :

25 g / 1h

For 225 gallons:

225 g / x hours  

Solving for x

25/1 = 225/x

x= 225/ (25/1)

x = 9 hours
