Parallel: line p with slope 2/5
Perpendicular: line n with slope -5/2
the other two would be neither.
A: x (isabella)
3x+x=36
b: 3x+x=36
4x=36
x=9
3x=27
c: Joseph is 27 years old.
Perpendicular = opposite sign and reciprocal slope
Make equation into y = mx + b
Add 3y to both sides
3y + 54 = 3x
Subtract 54
3y = 3x - 54
Divide by 3
y = x - 18
The slope is 1
Make it negative and reciprocal
= -1/1 = -1
Solution: the slope will be -1
