<h3>Answer: 8/5</h3>

Any two parallel lines always have the same slope (but different y intercepts)

The equation of the green line is y = (8/5)x+6

The equation of the red line is y = (8/5)x-3

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b with m as the slope and b as the y intercept.

The slopes must be the same so that each time the line goes up some amount, we move to the right the same amount. Think of a set of stairs to possibly visualize what I mean. If the slopes are different (even slightly), then the lines will intersect at some point and we wouldn't have parallel lines.

If the two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope of 8/5

Mark all the statements that are true.

Answer:

Option A

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

A relationship is defined as a function if and only if each element of the "domain" set is assigned only one element of the "range" set. That is, there is only one output value y assigned to each input value x.

The relation x = 3 is not a function because there are infinite output values y, assigned to the same input element x.

(3, 2), (3, 5) (3, 9) (3,10000)

Then the option A is true

Option C is also true, the equation of the line shown is

$x = 3$

The rest of the options are false because x = 3 is not a function

Recall that m(t) = (1/2)^t/h for radioactive decay, where h is the half-life. Suppose that a 500g sample of phosphorus-32 decays

katrin2010 [14]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Recall that m(t) = m.(1/2)^t/h for radioactive decay, where h is the half-life. Suppose that a 500 g sample of phosphorus-32 decays to 356 g over 7 days. Calculate the half life of the sample.

Answer: The half life of the sample of phosphorus-32 is $14.28days^{-1}$
