Answer:
Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that:
- Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent.
- Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
- And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.
So, let's find the slope of each equation.
The first basketball is modeled by:

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3<em>x</em> from both sides:

And divide both sides by four:

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.
The second basketball is modeled by:

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6<em>x</em> to both sides:

And divide both sides by negative eight:

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.
Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.
<span>x² + y² + 14x − 4y − 28 = 0
x² +14x +y² - 4y =28
x²+2*7x +7² -7² + y² - 2*2y +2² - 2² = 28
(x+7)² + (y-2)² -7²-2² =28
</span>(x+7)² + (y-2)²=28+49+4
(x+7)² + (y-2)² =81 is the answer.
4) (1,3)
This is because in order to keep the ordered pairs a function, x cannot repeat. 1 is the only x that has nor repeated. Hope this helps mate.
The ratio...i think they answer is idk
