we have

-x+4y=20

Isolate the variable y

4y=x+20

y=\frac{1}{4}x+5

the slope m of the given line is

m=\frac{1}{4}

we know that

If two lines are parallel , then their slopes are the same

so

m1=m2

if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

m1*m2=-1

we will proceed to verify each case to determine the solution

<u>case A)</u> -x+4y=8

<u>Isolate the variable y</u>

4y=x+8

y=\frac{1}{4}x+2

the slope  is

m2=\frac{1}{4}

Compare the slope of the line of the case A) with the slope of the given line

m1=\frac{1}{4}  -----> slope given line

m2=\frac{1}{4} ----> slope line case A)

m1=m2 --------> the lines are parallel

<u>case B)</u> 4x+y=-1

<u>Isolate the variable y</u>

y=-4x-1

the slope  is

m2=-4

Compare the slope of the line of the case B) with the slope of the given line

m1=\frac{1}{4}  -----> slope given line

m2=-4 ----> slope line case B)

m1*m2=\frac{1}{4}*-4=-1 --------> the lines are perpendicular

<u>case C)</u> y=-\frac{1}{4}x+6

the slope  is

m2=-\frac{1}{4}

Compare the slope of the line of the case C) with the slope of the given line

m1=\frac{1}{4}  -----> slope given line

m2=-\frac{1}{4} ----> slope line case C)

m1\neq m2

m1*m2\neq-1

therefore

the line case C) and the given line are neither parallel nor perpendicular

<u>case D)</u> y=-4x-3

the slope  is

m2=-4

Compare the slope of the line of the case D) with the slope of the given line

m1=\frac{1}{4}  -----> slope given line

m2=-4 ----> slope line case D)

m1*m2=\frac{1}{4}*-4=-1 --------> the lines are perpendicular

-x+4y=8: Parallel
4x+y=-1: Perpendicular
y=-1/4x+6: neither
y=-4x-3: Perpendicular

2/5 of what is 2/3? i need so much help
AlladinOne [14]

The answer is 4/15

2/5 * 2/3 = 2 · 2/5 · 3 = 4/15

Multiply the numerators and denominators together. Keep the result fraction to the smallest possible denominator GCD(4, 15) = 1. It cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling in the following intermediate step.

In other words, two fifths times two thirds equals four fifteenths.
