The basis to respond this question are:
1) Perpedicular lines form a 90° angle between them.
2) The product of the slopes of two any perpendicular lines is - 1.
So, from that basic knowledge you can analyze each option:
<span>a.Lines s and t have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.
TRUE. Tha comes the number 2 basic condition for the perpendicular lines.
slope_1 * slope_2 = - 1 => slope_1 = - 1 / slope_2, which is what opposite reciprocals means.
b.Lines s and t have the same slope.
FALSE. We have already stated the the slopes are opposite reciprocals.
c.The product of the slopes of s and t is equal to -1
TRUE: that is one of the basic statements that you need to know and handle.
d.The lines have the same steepness.
FALSE: the slope is a measure of steepness, so they have different steepness.
e.The lines have different y intercepts.
FALSE: the y intercepts may be equal or different. For example y = x + 2 and y = -x + 2 are perpendicular and both have the same y intercept, 2.
f.The lines never intersect.
FALSE: perpendicular lines always intersept (in a 90° angle).
g.The intersection of s and t forms right angle.
TRUE: right angle = 90°.
h.If the slope of s is 6, the slope of t is -6
FALSE. - 6 is not the opposite reciprocal of 6. The opposite reciprocal of 6 is - 1/6.
So, the right choices are a, c and g.

Answer:
The points are randomly scattered with no clear pattern
The number of points is equal to those in the scatterplot.
Step-by-step explanation:
The points in the residual plot of the line of best fit that is a good model for a scatterplot are randomly scattered with no clear pattern (like a line or a curve).
The number of points in the residual plot is always equal to those in the scatterplot.
It doesn't matter if there are about the same number of points above the x-axis as below it, in the residual plot.
The y-coordinates of the points are not the same as the points in the scatterplot.
Answer: The value of x in trapezoid ABCD is 15
Step-by-step explanation: The trapezoid as described in the question has two bases which are AB and DC and these are parallel. Also it has sides AD and BC described as congruent (that is, equal in length or measurement). These descriptions makes trapezoid ABCD an isosceles trapezoid.
One of the properties of an isosceles trapezoid is that the angles on either side of the two bases are equal. Since line AD is equal to line BC, then angle D is equal to angle C. It also implies that angle A is equal to angle B.
With that bit of information we can conclude that the angles in the trapezoid are identified as 3x, 3x, 9x and 9x.
Also the sum of angles in a quadrilateral equals 360. We can now express this as follows;
3x + 3x + 9x + 9x = 360
24x = 360
Divide both sides of the equation by 24
x = 15
Therefore, in trapezoid ABCD
x = 15
