Answer:

741

Step-by-step explanation:

The farmer noticed 21 tagged moles out of the 420 moles he counted. This means that he counted 420-21 moles that didn't have a tag. The answer to that is 399. Then, the ratio is 399:21. That simplifies it to 19:1. Since he tagged 39, 19x39 would be the answer, which is 741.

Explain why vertical lines are a special case in the definition of parallel lines.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

A vertical line has an infinite or undefined slope since the denominator is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines by definition refers to lines that never intersect or meet since they have identical slopes. The slope of line is defined as;

(change in y)/(change in x)

For a vertical line, the y values are changing while the x values remain constant. The slope of this line will thus have a zero value in the denominator implying that its slope will not defined or will be infinity.

Translation:(x,y)→(x+2,y+2)   [as the given piece moved 2 steps to the right and 2 steps upwards]

A single translation that moves the piece from its original position to its ending position is  [ignoring the diagonal movement]

Translation:-(x,y)→(x,y-4)[as piece have to go 4 steps downwards]
