What is the inverse of the statement?

anonymous · Answer

If the two lines intersect, then the two lines are not parallel.
		If the two lines are not parallel, then the two lines intersect.
		If the two lines are parallel, then the two lines do not intersect.
		If the two lines do not intersect, then the two lines are always parallel.

I think it's B

Inverse of a statement: If P then Q is If not P then not Q

parthkohli · Answer

The last one is the most appropriate.

anonymous · Answer

Wait the inverse? I think your right, B is the answer.

anonymous · Answer

this:
If the two lines are not parallel, then the two lines intersect.
is the opposite of this:
f two lines do not intersect, then the two lines are parallel line
if im not mistaken

parthkohli · Answer

D. actually

anonymous · Answer

Its asking for the inverse of the statement.

anonymous · Answer

Not which statement is equivalent to it.

anonymous · Answer

"if p then q"
the inverse of that statement is
"if NOT p, then NOT q"

anonymous · Answer

i think it's A

anonymous · Answer

Oh ok! That makes sense:)
A does seem like the best answer

anonymous · Answer

wuuuut? xD

anonymous · Answer

So A?

anonymous · Answer

yes:
the order is told in this:
"if p then q"
the inverse of that statement is
"if NOT p, then NOT q"

I didn't know that till now though

Lol it's d @dpaInc

anonymous · Answer

wow....idk who to listen to...

anonymous · Answer

I'm pretty sure it is read the first equation:
“If two lines do NOT intersect, then the two lines ARE parallel lines"
inverse of that is:
"If the two lines (DO) intersect, then the two lines are NOT parallel lines
you said it yourself above how the order should go!
