Answer:
1 and - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line passing through the origin is
y = mx ( m is the slope ( gradient ) )
y = x ← is in this form
with gradient m = 1
Parallel lines have equal gradients
Then the gradients of lines parallel to the given line is 1
Given a line with gradient m then the gradient of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= - 1
Then the gradients of lines perpendicular to this line is - 1
The share of Natasha is £ 42
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
£70 is divided between Natasha, Richard & Stephen
Total amount = 70
Let the share of natasha be "x"
Let the share of richard be "y"
Let the share of stephen be "z"
Natasha gets twice as much as Richard
x = 2y ------ eqn 1
Richard gets three times as much as Stephen
y = 3z
----- eqn 2
Total amount = 70
share of natasha + share of richard + share of stephen = 70
x + y + z = 70
Substitute eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute y = 21 in eqn 1
x = 2y = 2(21) = 42
x = 42
Thus natasha gets £ 42
