1)Parallel means they have to have the same slope. Since our equation is y=2/3x+1, a line parallel to that would be(using out points) -5=2/3(-4)+b.

To find the y-intercept, solve for "b".

b=-7/3

Our equation would then be y=2/3x-7/3

2)Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes. our previous equation was y=2/3x+1, so our new equation would be -5=-3/2(-4)+b. Now lets solve for b.

b=-11

So our perpendicular equation would be y=-3/2x-11

Hope that was helpful. :)

6x2y^3/3xy Use Laws of exponents. answer is 2xy^2 but I don't know how to get it. My initial answer was 4y^2

allsm [11]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{6x^{2}y^{3}}{3xy}$

If it helps, write as a product of fractions, grouped by variable.

$\frac{6}{3} \frac{x^{2}}{x} \frac{y^{3}}{y}$

Now reduce using exponent rules.

$2xy^{2}$

Sry about the scribbles I was trying but I need help ASAP so try to answer it as fast as possible

QveST [7]

Answer:

The answer for A is 1500 and B is 150

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is first make 25% into 25 over 100 or 25/100 then you divide which will give you 0.25 next you're gonna have to divide 375 by 0.25 which is 1,500. Then for B it do it again 60% to 60/100 next turn it into a decimal which is 0.60 or 0.6 then multiply 375 by 0.6 which is 225 then subtract 375 by 225 then you got the final answer:150. I hope I helped you

AD¯¯¯¯¯ , BD¯¯¯¯¯ , and CD¯¯¯¯¯ are angle bisectors of the sides of △ABC . BE=12 m and BD=20 m

evablogger [386]

Since triangle BDE is right, we can check it for special rules: BD is hypotenuse = 20, and BE = 12, both divisible by 4: get 5 and 3... so it's a 3-4-5 special right triangle, the 4×4 = 16 m for side DE.
Since AD bisects angle A, I think then side DG should be congruent with DG. So then
DG = 16 m
