Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:

Let u = (x - y):

To factor a quadratic in the form
find two numbers that multiply to
and sum to
:


Therefore, the numbers are: -6 and -4.
Rewrite
as the sum of these two numbers:

Factor the first two terms and the last two terms separately:

Factor out the common term (u - 2):

Substitute back in u = (x - y):

a) What is the slope of the line parallel to it?
Parallel lines will never intersect, meaning they have equivalent slopes, so the answer to this part is -(6/5).
b) What is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
Perpendicular lines will intersect, creating a 90-degree angle, meaning all values in the graphs have been flipped. Thus, the slope of any perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the given slope (-1/x). The negative reciprocal of -(6/5) is 5/6, so that is the answer.
Answer:
x ≤ 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x+3) - 7≤13
5x+3 - 7≤ 13
5x+15-7 ≤ 13
5x+15 ≤ 13+7
5x+15 ≤ 20
5x ≤ 20-15
5x ≤ 5
x ≤ 1
