Find the equations of the lines...
First find the slope...(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m
m=(6-1)/(8-5)=5/3 and it passes through (5,1) so
y=mx+b becomes:
y=5x/3+b and using (5,1)
1=5(5)/3+b
1=25/3+b
3/3-25/3=b
b=-22/3 so
y1=(5x-22)/3
.... now y2...
m=(8-3)/(-1--4)=5/3 (note it has the same slope as y1...
y=5x/3+b and using the point (-1,8)
8=5(-1)/3+b
8=-5/3+b
24/3+5/3=b
b=29/3, now note that the y-intercept is different...
y2=(5x+29)/3
Since these lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel to each other. (and will never intersect.)
Answer:
12.5
10
Step-by-step explanation:
10(1/2+3/4)
5+7.5
12.5
10(1/2)+(8(3/4)-1)
5+(6-1)
5+5
10
Answer:
John is 17,
Susan is 14,
and Khalid is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
a = John's age
b = Susan's age
c = Khalid's age
Let's set our rules from the given information.
a = b + 3
c = b - 5
a + b + c = 40
Now, we can solve for b through substitution.
(b + 3) + b + (b - 5) = 40
3b - 2 = 40
3b = 42
b = 14
So, now that we have Susan's age, we can follow the rules and see if it holds.
17 + 14 + 9 = 40 Viola!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the Length of the rectangle.
Let W represent the width of the rectangle.
The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
Then substitute 12 in for the length and 6in for the width. It becomes.
Perimeter = 2(12 + 6).
Perimeter =2 × 18 = 36
