The question is giving you pairs of points in space which can be used to define lines. It is then asking you to determine if the lines defined by those points are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two key things you need to know to solve this is that the lines will be parallel if their slopes are the same, and perpendicular if one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other (i.e. $s_{1} = -s_{2}^{-1}$ )

Let's start with question 11. You are given two pairs of points, each of which describes a distinct line:

(3,5)-(1,1) and (0, 2)-(5, 12)

To find the slope of each pair, take the vertex with the lesser x co-ordinate, and subtract it from the vertex with the greater x co-ordinate. That will give us a valid Δx and Δy to get the slope.

In the first pair, 3 > 1, so we'll subtract the second point from the first:

$s = \Delta y / \Delta x\\s = \frac{5 - 1}{3 - 1}\\s = 4/2\\s = 2$

So the first pair of vectors describe a line with a slope of 2. Let's look at the other pair:

$s = \Delta y / \Delta x\\s = (12 - 2) / (5 - 0)\\s = 10 / 5\\s = 2$

That also gives us a slope of 2, meaning that the two lines are parallel.

This same process will need to be done for the other three questions. We can't answer questions 12 or 14 here, as the last point is cut off on the edge of the image. For question 3 though, one line has a slope of 7/3, and the other 3/7. That puts them in the "neither" category, as one is not the negative reciprocal of the other, but instead the positive reciprocal.

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.

Answer from: Quest

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a) |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

1. the manager of collins import autos believes the number of cars sold in a day (q) depends on two factors: (1) the number of hours the dealership is open (h) and (2) the number of salespersons working that day (s). after collecting data for two months (53 days), the manager estimates the following log-linear model: q 4 equation 1 a. explain, how to transform the log-linear model into linear form that can be estimated using multiple regression analysis. the computer output for the multiple regression analysis is shown below: q4 table b. how do you interpret coefficients b and c? if the dealership increases the number of salespersons by 20%, what will be the percentage increase in daily sales? c. test the overall model for statistical significance at the 5% significance level. d. what percent of the total variation in daily auto sales is explained by this equation? what could you suggest to increase this percentage? e. test the intercept for statistical significance at the 5% level of significance. if h and s both equal 0, are sales expected to be 0? explain why or why not? f. test the estimated coefficient b for statistical significance. if the dealership decreases its hours of operation by 10%, what is the expected impact on daily sales?
