Are the lines with equations 2x -3y = 8 and -x + 4y=2 parallel, perpendicular, or neither

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

First, arrange the equations to fit the y=mx + b format

1. 2x - 3y = 8

y = -2/3x - 8/3

2. -x + 4y = 2

y = 1/4x + 1/2

Equations that are parallel have the same slope.

In perpendicular equations, one slope would be x and the other would be -1/x (negative reciprocal)

The equations are neither parallel nor perpendicular, so neither.

Five more than the product of a number and 4 is equal to 8

Maru [420]

Answer:

$4x+5=8$

$x=\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number

we know that

The algebraic expression is equal to multiply the number by 4, add 5 and equal 8

$4x+5=8$

Solve for x

subtract 5 both sides

$4x=8-5\\4x=3$

Divide by 4 both sides

$x=\frac{3}{4}$
