On a coordinate plane, 2 lines are shown. Line A B has points (negative 4, negative 2) and (4, 4). Line C D has points (0, negative 3) and (4, 0).

Which statement best explains the relationship between lines AB and CD?

They are parallel because their slopes are equal.

They are parallel because their slopes are negative reciprocals.

They are not parallel because their slopes are not equal.

They are not parallel because their slopes are negative reciprocals

Option A) They are parallel because their slopes are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Line AB:

(-4, -2), (4,4)

Line CD:

(0,-3), (4,0)

Formula to calculate slope =

Slope of AB =

Slope of CD =

Thus,

Thus, the two lines are parallel.

Option A) They are parallel because their slopes are equal.

what are the things "represented below"?

step-by-step explanation:

nobody can if you dont give the choices

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
