Given: We have the given figure through which we can see
LK=16,
KJ=10,
LM=24,
MN=15
To Find: Whether KM || JN and the reasoning behind it.
Solution: Yes, KM || JN because 
Explanation:
For this solution, we use the concept of Similar Triangles.
Now, KM || JN if ΔLKM ~ ΔLJN (i.e., if ΔLKM is similar to ΔLJN).
Now, ∠MLK=∠NLJ
To prove similarity of the two triangles, we have to show that the sides are proportional. In other words, LK:KJ = LM:LN
which is true as both sides simplify to 
Thus, we see that ΔLKM ~ ΔLJN (i.e., if ΔLKM is similar to ΔLJN).
Therefore, KM || JN.
To come to the reasoning, notice that
In other words,
a) All three athletes accelerated because the slope of every line in the beginning in positive.
b) Dash decelerated towards the end because the slope of the line representing him becomes negative.
c) Flash maintained a constant speed because the slope of his line does not change.
d) Krash's line is horizontal because he did not move for that time.
e) Flash won the race because his line reaches 100 first.
if you are looking for the slope the answer would be y=4/7x+25/7
<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is D. 
.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We are given the following expression:
Assuming that 
, we are to find its simplified product.
