Is y=-3x-8 perpendicular, parallel, or neither?

Mathematics

Y=-3x+8 is not parallel nor perpendicular to y=3x+8.
Thus, it is neither.
If one line is parallel to another line, then they will both have the same slope (the coefficient next to the x).
For instance, y=5x+8 is parallel to y=5x-4.
If one line is perpendicular to another line, then the slopes must be  negative reciprocals of one another (reciprocals multiply together and yield one, like 1/3 and 3.)
A parallel line to y=-3x-8 would be y=-3x
A perpendicular line to y=-3x-8 would be y=1/3x
Since the line we are comparing y=-3x-8 to, which is y=3x+8, meets neither of the constraints for being parallel or perpendicular, the correct answer is neither.

A chemist needs 2,220 ml of potassium chloride to complete an experiment. She has 2 L. How many more liters does she need?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

  0.220 L

Step-by-step explanation:

One liter is 1000 mL, so 2,220 mL is 2.220 L. Subtracting the 2 L on hand gives the additional amount required:

  2.220 L - 2 L = 0.220 L

_____

The nice thing about metric units is that conversion factors are often powers of 10, so only movement of the decimal point is required. It can be worthwhile to become familiar with the SI prefixes.

The line passing through point (0, 0) and parallel to the line whose equation is 3x + 2y - 6 = 0
choli [55]

Answer: y= -3/2x

Explanation:

3x+ 2y- 6

→ 2y= -3x+ 6

→ y= -3/2x+ 3

Parallel to y= ax+ b is to have the same slope (ax) and have a different y- intercept.

For this equation, y= -3/2x + 3, it is y= -3/2x because the line has to pass through point (0,0).

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

\frac{ {11}^{56} }{ {5}^{18} }

Step-by-step explanation:

{55}^{56}  \times  {5}^{22}  \times  {5}^{ - 96}

=  {55}^{56}  \times  {5}^{ - 74}

=  {11}^{56}  \times  {5}^{56}  \times  \frac{1}{ {5}^{74} }

=  {11}^{56}  \times  \frac{1}{ {5}^{18} }

=  \frac{ {11}^{56} }{ {5}^{18} }

A man goes into a store and says, “If you give me as much money as I have with me now, I will spend $10 in your store.” The stor
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount the man originally had

The man has $x and says "if you give me $x, I will spend $10."

y = amount he has after 1st proposition = x + x - 10 = 2x - 10

He repeats this procedure, now with $2x-10 in his pocket...

z = amount he has after 2nd proposition = (2x - 10) + (2x - 10) - 10 = 4x - 30

He repeats this procedure, now with $4x-30 in his pocket...but this time he is left with zero dollars...

r = amount he has after 3rd proposition = (4x-30) + (4x-30) - 10 = 8x-70 = 0

8x - 70 = 0,

x = $8.75
