Let D be dogs and C be cats

<em>dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c</em>

D + 5 = 2C

<em>If she decides to add three more of each, the ratio  of cats to dogs will be</em>

D + 8 = 2C + 3

<em>Could Bea's Pet Shop initially have 15 cats and 20 dogs?</em>

Simply plug in the numbers

20 + 5 = 2(15)

This is clearly not true: 25 does not equal 30

A line is drawn on a coordinate grid by the equation x = 6. Which of the following lines would represent a row parallel to it?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

D, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to know if a line is parallel, we need to know what kind of line x = 6 is

we can use the mnemonic VUX/HOY to determine the slope, the type of line, and which axis it corresponds to. VUX/HOY stands for:

Vertical line

Undefined slope

X axis

Horizontal line

0 is the slope

Y axis

according to this, the equation x = 6 is a vertical line

now we can start eliminating answer choices

A. a line containing the point (6,2)

the point lies on the line x = 6, as the x-coordinate in the ordered pair is 6. this  is not parallel to the line

B. y = 6

this intersects x = 6 and is not parallel

C. y = 4

this intersects x = 6 as well and is not parallel

D. x = 3

this leaves us with x = 3, which is a vertical line as seen by the equation and therefore x = 3 is our answer

When a shape is scaled up, the sides increase or decrease. However, the angles stay the same, so the angles would still be 53 and 82 degrees.
