Which statement explains how the lines 2x + y = 4 and y = one halfx + 4 are related?

Answer:

They are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem .

we will convert the equations in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept  form of equation is y = mx+c

where m is slope of line and c is y intercept.

________________________________

equation 1 is

2x+y = 4

=> y =4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

equation 2 is y = one halfx + 4 ( one half is same as 1/2)

so equation is

y = x/2 +4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = 1/2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

Now lets evaluate options

They are parallel.  wrong option

For lines to be parallel slope should be same.

But here slope are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not parallel.

__________________________________________

They are perpendicular.  correct option

For lines to be perpendicular, product of slope should be equal to -1.

-2*1/2 = -1

we can see that product of slope should be equal to -1 .

Thus lines are  perpendicular

______________________________________

They are the same line.  wrong option

For lines to be same both slope and y intercept should  be same.

Y intercept is same but the slopes are different -2 and 1/2  .

Thus lines are not  the same line.

__________________________________________

They are not related.       wrong option

As we have found that the lines are perpendicular .

So this option is intuitively wrong

*How does placing the Declaration of Independence in its historic context change its meaning?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Declaration of Independence was designed for multiple audiences: the King, the colonists, and the world. It was also designed to multitask. Its goals were to rally the troops, win foreign allies, and to announce the creation of a new country. The introductory sentence states the Declaration’s main purpose, to explain the colonists’ right to revolution. In other words, “to declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” Congress had to prove the legitimacy of its cause. It had just defied the most powerful nation on Earth. It needed to motivate foreign allies to join the fight.
