To determine if lines q and v are parallel, we need to find the slopes of both lines and compare them. Lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope.
-
Identify lines q and v: First, we need to get the equations of lines q and v from the given graph or any additional information that you might have about them. Lines might be given in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) or can be determined from points on the graph.
-
Calculate the slope: If we have the coordinates of two points on each line or the equation of the lines, we can calculate the slope with the formula: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] where \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) are points on the line.
-
Comparing slopes:
- If the slopes are equal, the lines are parallel (This corresponds to option B).
- If the slopes are different, the lines are not parallel (This corresponds to option C).
- If the product of their slopes is -1, they are perpendicular (This corresponds to options A and D).
To provide the correct option, I would need the slopes of lines q and v. If you supply the necessary information (like coordinates or equations), I can help you find the slopes and determine if the lines are parallel or not.
Without the actual values for the slopes or equations, I can’t fill in the response boxes. Please provide details about lines q and v to proceed!
