How do you use the slope to prove lines are parallel or perpendicular?

Mathematics

Vesna [10]3 years ago

For this, there is two rules. The common slope-intercept form is y=ax + b. For parallel, b can change, but a, or the slope, can't change. But for perpendicular, the a should be -1/a, where the answer for times the original equation, or a, and the second equation, or -1/a, is -1. To prove these two rules, you can graph it using random numbers but follow these two rules. if you have any part that don't understand for this answer, feel free to ask in the "Ask for details" section.

What is the width of the rectangle shown below? <br>4x + 3 <br>A = 8x2 – 10x – 12
ozzi

Answer:

<h2><em>2x-4</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

Given parameters

Area A = 8x2 – 10x – 12

Length of the rectangle = 4x+3

Required

Width of the rectangle.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

8x2 – 10x – 12  = (4x+3)*width

width = 8x2 – 10x – 12 /4x+3

S

Factorizing the numerator

8x² – 10x – 12

= 2(4x²-5x-6)

= 2(4x²-8x+3x-6)

= 2(4x(x-2)+3(x-2))

= 2(4x+3)(x-2)

Width = 2(4x+3)(x-2)/4x+3

Width = 2(x-2)

Width = 2x-4

<em>Hence the width of the rectangle is 2x-4</em>

The measure of the supplement of an angle is three times the measure of the
gtnhenbr [62]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h3><em>x=45degrees</em></h3>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let the angle to be solved be x

Let the supplement/compliment by y

x+y=90 Complimentary angles add up to 90 degrees.

x+3y=180 Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, the other angle is thrice the other compliment.

Evaluating this as a system:

x+y=90 Isolate x:

x=90−y Input into the other equation:

(90−y)+3y=180 Combine like terms, isolate y and its coefficients:

2y=90 Isolate y

y=45 Input into the first equation:

x+45=90 Isolate x:

x=45degrees

Select the correct answer. Which sentence correctly describes a data set that follows a normal distribution with a standard devi
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

68% of the data points lie between 10 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation: Given :  a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 and a mean of 14

We have to choose the  sentence that correctly describes a data set that follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 and a mean of 14.

Since, given 68% data.

We know mean of data lies in middle.

And standard deviation is distribute equally about the mean that is 50% of values less than the mean  and 50% greater than the mean.

So, 68% of data lies

mean - standard deviation = 14 - 4 = 10

mean + standard deviation = 14 + 4 = 18

So, 68% of the data points lie between 10 and 18.

A glass of skim milk supplies 0.1 mg of iron, 8.5 g of protein, and 1 g of carbohydrates. A quarter pound of lean red meat provi
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

glasses of milk=4

quatar pounds servings of meat =5

two slices of whole grains bread =8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m= milk

r=meat

b=bread

0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)

m+20r+12b=200 (3)

Multiply (1) by 85 and (2) by 1

8.5m+289r+187b=2,975 (4)

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (5)

Subtract (5) from (4)

267r+177b=2,751 (6)

Recall,

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (2)

m+20r+12b=200 (3)

Multiply (2) by 1 and (3) by 8.5

8.5m+22r+10b=224 (7)

8.5m+170r+102b=1700 (8)

Subtract (7) from (8)

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

Recall,

267r+177b=2,751 (6) and

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

Multiply (6) by 148 and (9) by 267

26196b=407,148 (10)

24564b=394,092 (11)

Subtract (11) from (10)

1,632b=13,056

Divide both sides by 1,632

b=13,056/1,632

b=8

Substitute the value of b in (9)

148r+92b=1,476 (9)

148r+92(8)=1,476

148r+736=1,476

148r=1,476-736

148r=740

Divide both sides by 148

r=740/148

r= 5

Substitute the value of b and r in (1)

0.1m+3.4r+2.2b=35 (1)

0.1m+3.4(5)+2.2(8)=35

0.1m+17+17.6=35

0.1m+34.6=35

0.1m=35-34.6

0.1m=0.4

Divide both sides by 0.1

m=0.4/0.1

m=4

4 glasses of milk, 5 quatar pounds servings of meat and 8 two slices of whole grains bread will supply the required nutrients.
