The full question is available in the attached image.

It is known that

Two lines are defined as parallel if they share the same slope.

So

We can determine the slope of segment AB and that of segment CD by employing the formula.

m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}

Step 1

Calculate the slope for segment AB

A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2)

mAB=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}

Step 2

Calculate the slope for segment CD

C(x3, y3), D(x4, y4)

mCD=\frac{(y4-y3)}{(x4-x3)}

Step 3

If AB is parallel to CD, then

mAB=mCD

\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}=\frac{(y4-y3)}{(x4-x3)}

therefore

the answer is

\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}=\frac{(y4-y3)}{(x4-x3)}

In order for two line segments to be considered parallel, their slopes must be identical.

Thus, the slope of AB must match that of CD.

This is represented by option 3.

A 5 1/2 quart pot is filled 2/3 of the way with water. How many more quarts of water can the pot hold?
Inessa [3895]

The pot has the capability to hold 1/3 more than its current level. Therefore, 1/3 of 5 1/2 quarts equals:

(1/3)(11/2) = 11/6 quarts. Thus, the total capacity of the pot is 11/6 quarts.

A coordinate grid with 2 lines. The first line is labeled y equals negative StartFraction 7 over 4 EndFraction x plus StartFract
AnnZ [3868]

Answer:

1) (2.2, -1.4)

2) (1.33, 1)

Detailed solution:

Question 1)

We are provided with two linear equations representing lines, and we need to find the intersection point that solves the system.

The lines given are:

Line 1 equation:

y=\frac{-7}{4}x+\frac{5}{2}

This line passes through points (0, 2.5) and (2.2, -1.4).

Line 2 equation:

y=\frac{3}{4}x-3

The second line goes through (0, -3) and (2.2, -1.4).

According to the graph and data, the solution to the system is the coordinate where both lines intersect.

The solution to a system of linear equations is the coordinate pair common to both lines, i.e., the intersection point.

Here, both lines share the point (2.2, -1.4), indicating it is their intersection and the solution.

Therefore, the solution for question 1 is (2.2, -1.4).

Question 2)

The equations given are:

y = 1.5x - 1               Equation 1

y = 1                           Equation 2

The method of substitution can be used to find the solution.

Replacing y from Equation 2 into Equation 1 gives:

1 = 1.5x - 1

Add 1 to both sides:

2 = 1.5x

Dividing both sides by 1.5 yields:

x = 2/1.5

x = 1.33

y = 1

Thus, the solution of the system is (1.33, 1).

Otto used 6 cups of whole wheat flour and x cups of white flour in the recipe. What is the equation that can be used to find the
tester [3895]
The recipe uses x cups of white flower together with 6 cups of wheat flower.

Therefore, the combined quantity of flower equals x+6

If y represents that combined amount, the equation to write is:
y=x+6

Constraints are as follows:
y can only be \geq 6

Note that if y = 0 then x would have to be -6, which is not possible.

Find the slope of a pipe that slopes down 2/5 inch per foot.
babunello [3607]

Answer:

m=\frac{1}{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the slope, divide the rise by the run to calculate the slope.

Note that

1 ft = 12 in

Let

y ----> the rise

x ----> the run

m ----> the slope

m=\frac{y}{x}

the values are given as

y=2/5\ in

x=1\ ft=12\ in

m=\frac{y}{x}

substituting these values gives

m=\frac{(2/5)}{12}

m=\frac{2}{60}

Simplifying further

m=\frac{1}{30}

Leona [4145]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation: The error made by the student was dividing the wins by the losses.

The student should have divided the wins by the total number of games played.

Initially, the student ought to have summed 20 and 10 to conclude there were 30 games in total.
