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

A pendulum is 18 feet long. Its central angle is 44º. The pendulum makes one back and forth swing every 12 seconds. Each minute,
expeople1 [14]
Radius: r=18 feet
Cental Angle: A=44°
Each cycle (one back and forth) lasts 12 seconds
In each cycle the pendulum swings:
L=(A/360°) 2 pi r
L=(44°/360°)(2)(3.141592654)(18 feet)
L=(0.122222222)(113.0973355 feet)
L=13.82300764 feet
Rounded to 3 decimal places:
L=13.823 feet

Each minute (60 seconds) the pendulum makes:
Number of cycles: n=(60 seconds) / (12 seconds)→n=5 cycles

Then, each minute, the pendulum swings:
T=nL=5(13.823 feet)→T=69.115 feet

Answer: Each minute, the pendulum swings 69.115 feet.

Assume y varies directly with x. when y=2 2/3 when x=1/4, what is y when x=1 1/8? NEED HELP QUICK!!
snow_tiger [21]

3y=8x

Explanation:

If y varies directly with x then

y=c⋅x for some constant of variation c

If (x,y)=(14,23) is a solution to this equation, then

23=c⋅14

→c=23⋅41=83

So

y=83x

or (clearing the fraction)

3y=8x
