Answer:
parallel: -1/2
perpendicular: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
lines that are parallel have the same slope because they never intersect
lines that perpendicular, have the opposite reciprocal slope.
y = mx + b
where m is the slope
y = -1/2x + 6
-1/2 is the slope.
the slope in the equation given: -1/2
the slope parallel to the line given : -1/2
the slope perpendicular : opposite reciprocal, so the opposite of -1/2 is 1/2 and the reciprocal of 1/2 is 2.
the longer side / the shorter side must be the same for rectangles to be similar.
For A: 105 / 80 = 1.32
For B: 120 / 90 = 1.33
For C: 100 / 75 = 1.47
So... only A and B are similar.
I think the answer is 1 1/8
The answer will be the last one as it equals 4x + 3. this means that the equation will be parallel and does not have a solution.
