The slopes of parallel lines are the same just the y-intercepts are different.

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

1. -15y = -5x + 30

y = 1/3x + 2

The slope is 1/3. So, A.

2. y = 2/3x - 5

The slope is 2/3

3. x = 2 is a vertical line at x of 2

y = -5 is a horizontal line at y of -5

The two lines are perpendicular to each other. So, B.

4. y = -5/2x +6

The slope of the perpendicular line is 2/5. So, C.

5. y = -3x + 4

The slope of the perpendicular line is 1/3.

Hope this helps! Mark as Brainliest please! :)))

1) Parallel lines have equal slopes.

We need to find the slope of the given line by solving for y.

5x - 15y = 30

-15y = -5x + 30

y = (1/3)x - 2

The slope of the given line is 1/3, so the slope of the parallel line is also 1/3.

2) Line 1 has slope 2/3.

Line 2 has slope 2/3.

3) Line 1 is a vertical line through x = 2. Line 2 is a horizontal line through y = -5. The lines are perpendicular.

4) The given line can is solved for y, so we can see its slope is -5/2. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. The perpendicular line has slope 2/5. We have point (5, 0) which is (x1, y1) in the slope-point formula.

y - 0 = (2/5)(x - 5)

y = 2/5 x - 2

5) The given equation has slope -3. To find the negative reciprocal, write the slope as a fraction, flip it, and change the sign.

Slope of perpendicular line is 1/3.

Answer:

(b) x +2y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The only offered line that includes the given point is ...

x +2y = 8

We can check the other choices:

x + 2y = 2 +2(3) = 2+6 = 8 . . . matches B (not A)

2x +y = 2(2) +3 = 4+3 = 7 . . . . not a choice

_____

<em>Getting there from scratch</em>

The standard form equation for a line can be written from ...

(y2 -y1)x -(x2 -x1)y = constant

(-4 -0)x -(4 -(-4))y = constant . . . . using the given points (-4, 0) and (4, -4)

-4x -8y = constant

For standard form, we need the leading coefficient to be positive, and we need common factors removed. We can get there by dividing by -4.

x +2y = constant

The value of the constant will be whatever it takes for the given point to lie on the line. For (x, y) = (2, 3) to be a solution, we must have ...

x +2y = (2) +2(3) = constant = 8

The desired line has the equation ...

x +2y = 8

5. solve for x

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

x = 17, MN = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 secants from an external point to a circle, then

The product of the external part and the whole of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the whole of the other secant.

(5)

7(7 + x) = 8(8 + 13) = 8 × 21 = 168 ( divide both sides by 7 )

7 + x = 24 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

x = 17

(6)

9(9 + 2x - 7) = 10(10 + 8)

9(2x + 2) = 10 × 18 = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )

2x + 2 = 20 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 9

Then

MN = 2x - 7 = 2(9) - 7 = 18 - 7 = 11

During his hike, Milt drank 1 liter of water and 1 liter of sports drink. How many milliliters of liquid did he drink?

S_A_V [24]

Answer: 2,000 milliliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to add the amount of water and the amount of sports drink that he drank:

1 liter + 1 liter = 2 liters of liquid.

Finally, we have to convert the result into milliliters.

Since 1 liter = 1000 liters

We have to multiply the liters drank by 1000.

2 x 1000 = 2,000 milliliters.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

How do you solve g= y-c+x for x

SOVA2 [1]

To solve for x just isolate x by moving the other variables so....:
First add c to both sides
g+c= y+x
Subtract y from both sides
g+c-y= x
That should be your final answer (we cannot come up with an actual digit for x because there are no numbers in this equation we simply can make an equation for x)

The data set shown below represents the number of times some families went out for dinner the previous week. 4, 2, 2, 0, 1, 6, 3

Mkey [24]

Dot plots are used to represent data using dots

The true statements about the dataset are:

The range of the number line should be 0 to 7 to represent the frequency.
Four families said they ate out twice the previous week.
One family said they ate out 5 times the previous week

The dataset is given as:

4, 2, 2, 0, 1, 6, 3, 2, 5, 1, 2, 4, 0, 1

Rearrange in ascending order

0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6

Represent as a frequency table

Data Frequency

0 2

1 2

2 4

3 0

4 2

5 1

6 1

See attachment for the dot plot

From the attachment, we can see that:

4 has a frequency of 2
5 has a frequency of 1

Also, the range on the dot plot can be 0 to 7, because it covers the given dataset

Hence, the true statements are: (a), (b) and (c)
