Answer: she still has to cut off 19/16 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Olivia wants to cut 3 3/4 inches from a piece of string. Converting 3 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 15/4 inches.

She has already cut off 2 9/16 inches from the piece of string. Converting 2 9/16 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 41/16 inches.

Therefore, the length of string that is left for her to cut off would be

15/4 - 41/16 = (60 - 41)/16

= 19/16 inches

Match each pair of points to the equation of the line that is parallel to the line passing through the points.

Paraphin [41]

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then, their slopes are equal.

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we will proceed to calculate the slope in each case, to determine the solution of the problem

<u>Case A)</u> Point $B(5,2)\ C(7,-5)$

Find the slope BC

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-5-2}{7-5}$

$m=\frac{-7}{2}$

$m=-3.5$

so

The equation $y=-3.5x-15$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $B(5,2)\ C(7,-5)$

therefore

<u>the answer Part A) is</u>

$B(5,2)\ C(7,-5)$ ------> $y=-3.5x-15$

<u>Case B)</u> Point $D(11,6)\ E(5,9)$

Find the slope DE

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{9-6}{5-11}$

$m=\frac{3}{-6}$

$m=-0.5$

so

The equation $y=-0.5x-3$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $D(11,6)\ E(5,9)$

therefore

<u>the answer Part B) is</u>

$D(11,6)\ E(5,9)$ ------> $y=-0.5x-3$

<u>Case C)</u> Point $F(-7,12)\ G(3,-8)$

Find the slope FG

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-8-12}{3+7}$

$m=\frac{-20}{10}$

$m=-2$

so

Any linear equation with slope $m=-2$ will be parallel to the line passing through the points $F(-7,12)\ G(3,-8)$

<u>Case D)</u> Point $H(4,4)\ I(8,9)$

Find the slope HI

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{9-4}{8-4}$

$m=\frac{5}{4}$

$m=1.25$

so

The equation $y=1.25x+4$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $H(4,4)\ I(8,9)$

therefore

<u>the answer Part D) is</u>

$H(4,4)\ I(8,9)$ ------> $y=1.25x+4$

<u>Case E)</u> Point $J(7,2)\ K(-9,8)$

Find the slope JK

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{8-2}{-9-7}$

$m=\frac{6}{-16}$

$m=-0.375$

so

Any linear equation with slope $m=-0.375$ will be parallel to the line passing through the points $J(7,2)\ K(-9,8)$

<u>Case F)</u> Point $L(5,-7)\ M(4,-12)$

Find the slope LM

Substitute the values in the formula

$m=\frac{-12+7}{4-5}$

$m=\frac{-5}{-1}$

$m=5$

so

The equation $y=5x+19$ is parallel to the line passing through the points $L(5,-7)\ M(4,-12)$

therefore

<u>the answer Part F) is</u>

$L(5,-7)\ M(4,-12)$ ------> $y=5x+19$

Which is the simplified form of x Superscript negative 12?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

C. $\frac{1}{x^{12}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an expression

$(x)^{-12}$

We have to find the simplified form of given expression.

We know that

$a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}$

Using the property then we get

$x^{-12}=\frac{1}{x^{12}}$

Hence, the simplified form of $x^{-12}$ is given by

$\frac{1}{x^{12}}$

Option C is true.
