Answer:

b. lines that meet at a 90 angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at a right (90 degrees) angle.

So, the correct answer is b. lines that meet at a 90 angle.

If you want to know if two equations are perpendicular, take their slopes. The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals of each other.

B.) Hibiscus Street 

The key thing to remember is the slope of the lines. The equation for a line in slope intercept form is
y = ax + b
where
a = slope
b = y intercept

So the equation for Oak Street is y = 2/3x - 7. So it's slope is 2/3. And any street that has the same slope will be given a tree name. And any street that's perpendicular will be given a flower name. You can determine is a line is perpendicular if it has a slope that's the negative reciprocal. So a street that's perpendicular to Oak street will have a slope of -3/2.

Now you've just been given the equation to a new street that's y = -3/2x - 2. Since the slope is -3/2 and Oak street has a slope of 2/3, the new street is perpendicular to Oak street. And given the naming scheme, that means that the new street will have the name of a flower. So let's look at the available street names and pick a flower.
<span>
A.) Weeping Willow Street
* Nope a Weeping Willow is a tree. So this name won't work.
 
B.) Hibiscus Street 
* Yes. A Hibiscus is a flower, so this name is suitable.

C.) Oak Street 
* Nope. Not only is this a tree instead of a flower, but there's already an Oak street. So bad choice.

D.) Panther Street
* Nope, this is an animal, not a flower. Bad choice.

Answer: This equation does not have a vertex.

If the equation is not curved or composed of two straight lines it does not have a vertex.

You spin a spinner with four equal sections labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4 and toss a dime.
PIT_PIT [208]
<span>Its : (1, H), (2, H), (3, H), (4, H), (1, T), (2, T), (3, T), (4, T) When you flip a coin, you can result in heads (H) or tails (T) when you spin a spinner with 4 equal sections, you get 1, 2, 3, or 4 (1, 2, 3, 4) Therefore the 8 combinations are above.

Hope this helps :)</span>
