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 <==

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Juan would need to fill up the 1/4 measuring cup 24 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to measure one cup of flour with a 1/4 measuring cup, you would need to fill up the 1/4 measuring cup 4 times. Since we want 6 cups, you would need to fill up the 1/4 measuring cup 24 times. 6 times 4 = 24. Hope this helps!

2x+2y=-2<br> 3x-2y=12<br><br> I do not understand this math and need help with this math equation.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have two equations and two "unknowns" x and y.

This is an easy one. Add the two equations together, which will eliminate the y terms so you can solve for x:

2x+2y = -2

3x-2y = 12

---------------

5x = 10, so x = 2.

Now plug the 2 back into one of the equations and solve it for y.

2(2)+2y = -2

4+2y = -2

2y = -6

y = -3
