neither

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

• The product of perpendicular slopes = - 1

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = $\frac{5}{3}$ x + 3 is in this form

with slope m = $\frac{5}{3}$

rearrange 20x + 12y = 12 into this form

subtract 20x from both sides

12y = - 20x + 12 ( divide all terms by 12 )

y = - $\frac{5}{3}$ + 1 ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{5}{3}$

Neither of the conditions for parallel/ perpendicular slopes are met

Hence the lines are neither parallel/ perpendicular

A man standing on level ground is 1000 feet away from the base of a 350-foot-tall building. Find,

CaHeK987 [17]

If you sketch the man and the building on paper, you'll have a
right triangle. The right angle is the point where the wall of
the building meets the ground. The height of the building
is one leg of the triangle, the line on the ground from the
building to the man's feet is the other leg, and the line
from his feet to the top of the building is the hypotenuse.

We need to find the angle at his feet, between the hypotenuse
and the leg of the triangle.

Well, the side opposite the angle is the height of the building -- 350ft,
and the side adjacent to the angle is the distance from him to the
building -- 1,000 ft.

The tangent of the angle is (opposite) / (adjacent)

= (350 ft) / (1,000 ft) = 0.350 .

To find the angle, use a book, a slide rule, a Curta, or a calculator
to find the angle whose tangent is 0.350 .

tan⁻¹(0.350) = 19.29° . (rounded)

Write an equation, and express the product in standard form.

rosijanka [135]

Answer: 3 copies of 5 tenths = 3*0.5 = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, if we have:

"3 copies of a number B"

This is written as:

3*B

And we have that the number B is "5 tenths"

Now, a tenth is the first digit after the decimal point.

Then 5 tenths = 5*0.1 = 0.5

B = 0.5

3 copies of 5 tenths = 3*0.5 = 1.5

Given: cos α = 4/5, sin β= 4/5, and α and β are both in quadrant 1. find sin (α+β)

mezya [45]

We have the formula (sin x)^2 + (cos x)^2 = 1;
Then, sin α = $\sqrt{1- ( \frac{4}{5}) ^{2} } = \frac{3}{5} ;$
cos β = $\sqrt{1- ( \frac{4}{5}) ^{2} } = \frac{3}{5} ;$
We apply the formula sin ( α + β ) = sin α x cos β + sin β x cos α = (3/5)x(4/5) + (4/5)x(3/5) = 12/25 + 12/25 = 24/25;

The endpoints of a regular pentagon are (-1,4) and (2,3). What is the perimeter of the Pentagon?

ryzh [129]

the assumption being that the endpoints are two continuous points in the pentagon, Check picture below.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[2-(-1)]^2+[3-4]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(2+1)^2+(3-4)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{9+1}\implies d=\sqrt{10}~\hfill \stackrel{\stackrel{~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{5 sides}}{}}{\textit{perimeter of the pentagon}}}{5\sqrt{10}}$
