Write a conditional,converse,inverse and contrapositive statement from the sentence "parallel lines do not intersect"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 would love to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plee help me :(

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

statement : parallel lines do not intersect

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets break the statement into two

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

parallel lines + do not intersect okay ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

conditional : if () then ()

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if parallel lines, then do not intersect same as, if two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats conditional... makes sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! thank you so much!! :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

let move on to next :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

converse is just switching start and end

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

statement : if parallel lines, then they do not intersect converse : if they do not intersect, then they are parallel lines

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we just reversed the given condition. does that make sense.... ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah :))

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

good :D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets workout inverse

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

statement : if parallel lines, then they do not intersect converse : if they do not intersect, then they are parallel lines inverse : if they are NOT parallel lenes, they they DO intersect

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

inverse is just negating the BOTH statements without reversing order

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

make sure you okay so far. contrapositive depends on these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah im ok :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

statement : if parallel lines, then they do not intersect converse : if they do not intersect, then they are parallel lines inverse : if they are NOT parallel lenes, they they DO intersect contrapositive : if they do intersect, then they are not parallel lines

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

in contrapositive, you reverse the statements and negate them !!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

more precicely, in contrapositive, you reverse the ORDER OF statements and negate them !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh!! ok! :)) thank you so much! you are so great in teaching math compare to my teacher :))

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ohhh thank you! glad it helped you =))
