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 <==

Find the eighth term of the

Pie

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ $(r)^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio, hence

$a_{8}$ = 6 × $(-1/3)^{7}$ = 6 × - $\frac{1}{3^{7} }$ = 6 × - $\frac{1}{2187}$ = - $\frac{2}{729}$

Julissa wants to find the perimeter of her bedroom that is similar to her brother's. If her brother's bedroom is 12 ft long and

tatuchka [14]

I’m guessing that her room is 10ft long and 12ft wide
Because it is similar

To find perimeter, you add.
10 + 10 + 12 + 12
44ft
So about 40ft

Hope this helps :D
