Parallel lines have the same slope.

To compare the slopes of two different lines, you have to get
both equations into the form of    
                                                        y = 'm' x  +  (a number) .

In that form, the 'm' is the slope of the line.
Notice that it's the number next to the 'x' .

The equation given in the question is    y = 3 - 2 x .
Right away, they've done something to confuse you.
You always expect the 'x' term to be right after the 'equals' sign,
but here, they put it at the end.  The slope of this line is the  -2 .

Go through the choices, one at a time.
Look for another one with a slope of  -2 .
Remember, rearrange the equation to read ' y = everything else ',
and then the slope is the number next to the 'x'.

Choice #4:  y = 4x - 2 .  The slope is  4 .  That's not it.

Choice #3:  y = 3 - 4x .  The slope is  -4 .  That's not it.

Choice #2).                       2x + 4y = 1

Subtract 2x from each side:    4y = 1 - 2x

Divide each side by  4 :             y = 1/4  -  1/2 x .

                                                     The slope is  -1/2.  That's not it.

Choice #1).                                 4x + 2y = 5

Subtract 4x from each side:              2y = 5 - 4x

Divide each side by 2 :                        y = 5/2  - 2 x .

                                                       The slope is -2 .
                                                       This one is it.  
                This one is parallel to  y = 3 - 2x ,
                 because they have the same slope.

On a beach trip, Lucy rents a bike from “Wheels by the Waves”, where they rent bikes for $12 plus $3 per hour. If Lucy spent $30
Paul [167]

Answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation: If you write an equation for this scenario it would be y = 12+3x. 12 is the starting value and x represents how many hours the bike is rented, therefore 3 dollars would be added to the initial 12 each hour. So if Lucy spent $30 then it would change to 30= 12+3x. Now you essentially just need to work backwards. Rearrange the equation and move 12 to the left of the equal sign to make 30-12=3x. Combine vairable to make 18=3x. Divide 3x by 3 to isolate x and divide 18 by 3 as well to make it even. This looks like 18/3=3x/3. Meaning it would end up as 6=x.

Is A ABC similar to DEF? Why or why not?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Option(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are the two triangles, that are ABC and DEF, in which AB=8ft, DE=6ft, AC=10ft and DF=7.5ft.

For the two triangles to be similar, it must satisfy the similarity condition that is:

Both the triangles must have congruent angles and the sides should be proportional. Since, two sides of the given triangles are not proportional.Moreover, ∠A=25° and ∠D=24° which are not equal and ∠C=60° and ∠F=61° which are also not equal.

Therefore, Not all the angles are congruent, thus the triangles cannot be similar.

What is the reference angle for 7pi/6
DanielleElmas [232]
The reference angle is a positive acute angle. Angle 7π/6 in radians= = 7*180°/6 = 210°  ( because π rad=180°).
This angle is in the 3rd Quadrant and formula for the reference angle is:
x-180°.
210°-180°=30°
Answer: The reference angle for 7π/6 is 30°.
