I need help on this ASAP… Line A passes through the points (-4,5) and (0,2). Line B…

Answer:
Parallel lines: Line B and C
Perpendicular lines: Line A and B; Line A and C
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question, we only need to find the slope of each equation. The formula for slope is attached in a picture.
LINE A
Substituting the first line into the formula, we will get...
(2 - 5)/(0 -(-4))
-3/4
LINE B
Substituting the second line's points into the formula we will get...
(2 - 6)/(3 - 6)
-4/-3
4/3
LINE C
Substituting the third line's points into the formula we will get...
(3 -(-1)/(0 -(-3))
4/3
So, parallel lines have the same slope, right? Since line b and line c have the same slope, they are parallel.
And, perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, right? (reciprocal means x/y -> y/x) Since -3/4 and 4/3 are negative reciprocals of each other, they are perpendicular.
Therefore...
Parallel lines: Line B and C
Perpendicular lines: Line A and B; Line A and C

Answer:
The vertex of the function is at (1,-25)
Step-by-step explanation:
I think your question missed key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the orginal one.
<em>Part of the graph of the function f(x) = (x + 4)(x-6) is shown below. </em>
<em>Which statements about the function are true? Select two </em>
<em>options. </em>
<em>The vertex of the function is at (1,-25). </em>
<em>The vertex of the function is at (1,-24). </em>
<em>The graph is increasing only on the interval -4< x < 6. </em>
<em>The graph is positive only on one interval, where x <-4. </em>
<em>The graph is negative on the entire interval </em>
My answer:
Given the factored form of the function:
f(x) = (x + 4)(x-6)
<=> f(x) =
We will convert to vertex form
<=> f(x) = () - 25
<=> f(x) =
=> the vertex of the function is: (1,-25)
We choose: a. The vertex of the function is at (1,-25)
Let analyse other possible answers:
<u>c. The graph is increasing only on the interval -4< x < 6.</u>
Because the parameter a =1 so the graph open up all over its domain and the vertex is the lowest point.
So the graph is increasing in the domain (1, +∞)
=> C is wrong
<u>d. The graph is positive only on one interval, where x <-4</u>
Wrong, The graph is positive only on one interval, where x > 6
<u>e. The graph is negative on the entire interval</u>
Wrong, The graph is negative only on one interval, where -4< x < 6.
