Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept

So remember that parallel lines have the same slope, while perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other. But first, we have to find out the slope of the original equation. The easiest method to find the slope is to convert this standard form equation to slope-intercept form.

Firstly, subtract 6x on both sides of the equation: $-4y=-6x-3$

Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form is $y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{3}{4}$

Now, looking at our slope-intercept form we see that the slope of the original equation is 3/2. Using what we know about parallel and perpendicular lines, the slope of a parallel line is 3/2 and the slope of a perpendicular line is -2/3

Troyanec [42]

The measure of each exterior angle is 60° and the polygon has 6 sides ⇒ 4th answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In a regular n-side polygon:

All sides are equal in lengths
All angles are equal in measure
The measure of each interior angle = $\frac{(n-2)*180}{n}$
The measure of each exterior angle = $\frac{360}{n}$
The sum of interior angle and exterior angle at a vertex is 180°

∵ The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 120°

∵ The sum of interior angle and exterior angle at a vertex = 180°

∴ The measure of each exterior angle = 180 - 120

∴ The measure of each exterior angle = 60°

∵ The measure of each exterior angle = $\frac{360}{n}$

- Substitute the measure of the exterior angle by 60

∴ $60=\frac{360}{n}$

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 60 n = 360

- Divide both sides by 60

∴ n = 6

∴ The polygon has 6 sides

The measure of each exterior angle is 60° and the polygon has 6 sides

Determine the reveune for selling 500 helmets

Tasya [4]

Answer:

x is the price the helmets were sold at.

y is the business expenses.

r is the revenue.

500x - y = r

Step-by-step explanation:

500x - y = r

We multiply x, the price that the helmets were sold at. Then we subtract y, which is the business expenses. After this, we get r, our revenue.
