3x-2y=13 2x+3y=-16 are these lines parallell or perpendicular or neither

1 answer:

6 0

3x - 2y = 13
-2y = -3x + 13
y = 3/2x - 13/2...slope is 3/2, y int is -13/2

2x + 3y = -16
3y = -2x - 16
y = -2/3x - 16/3...slope = -2/3, y int is -16/3

perpendicular lines will have negative reciprocal slopes. To find the negative reciprocal of a number, flip the number and change the sign.
On the 1st equation, the slope was 3/2....find its negative reciprocal.....flip it, making it 2/3....change the sign...making it -2/3. So the negative reciprocal of 3/2 is -2/3.

So if one equation has a slope of 3/2 and another equation has a slope of -2/3, then these lines are perpendicular <==

A car travels at an average speed of 60 mph on a trip what is the car speed in feet per second

kotegsom [21]

Answer: 88 Feet Per Second

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly you need to know 3 things:

> 60 mph = 60 Miles Per Hour

> 1 Hour = 60 mins = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

> 1 Mile = 5280 feet

Next you can change the miles to feet and hours to seconds.

60 mi/ 1 hour = 60*5280/ 3600 = 316800ft/ 3600sec

Now time to reduce that big fraction! (Or in this case just divide by 3600 sec)

316800ft/ 3600sec

= 88ft/1sec

= 88 Feet Per Second

Hope that helps!

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the owners of Expo Company John Smith and Susan Jones invested $240,000 and $160,000 into the business respectively. We are asked to find the percentage of business owned by Susan.

Let us figure out total money invested in business by adding the money invested by John Smith and Susan Jones.

$\text{Total money invested in business}=\$240,000+\$160,000$
