Parallel:  the lines have = slopes.  We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p.  then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5.   (answer)

Check:  Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)?  YES

Perp.:  The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.

Then -6/5 = 2/p,  or

 -6      2
---- = ----
  5      p             Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3   (answer)

A) In order to be parallel, the slopes must be the same. To find p, set the slopes equal to each other:

5/6 = 2/p

Cross multiply:

12 = 5p

p = 12/5

B) In order to be perpendicular, the slopes must be opposite reciprocals. So if one line's slope is 5/6, the other line's slope must be -6/5:

-6/5 = 2/p

10 = -6p

p = 10/-6

Reduced, the answer is p = -5/3.

Solve for −4.2y+2.1>−2.52
Alchen [17]

Answer:

y < 1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Subtract 2.1 from both sides </u>

-4.2y + 2.1 - 2.1 > -2.52 - 2.1

<em>-4.2y > -4.62</em>

<em />

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by -4.2</u>

-4.2y / -4.2 > -4.62 / -4.2

<u><em>Since you divided by a negative, that flips the sign.</em></u>

<em>y < 1.1 </em>

Answer:  y < 1.1

How do I solve for the missing numbers
Veronika [31]

Answer:

going from left to right: 200, 400, 800

Step-by-step explanation:

25 x 2 = 50

50 x 2 = 100

100 x 2 = 200

200 x 2 = 400

400 x 2 = 800

just follow the pattern

Part A: Marguerite rented a truck at $125 for 2 days. If she rents the same truck for 5 days, she has to pay a total rent of $27
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

y = 50x+25

f(x) = 50x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope intercept form of the equation, y = mx+b

where x is the amount per day and b is the flat fee

2 days

125 = 2x+b

5 days

275 = 5x+b  

Subtract

275 = 4x+b  

125 = 2x+b

---------------------

150 = 3x

Divide by 3

150/3 = 3x/3

50 =x

The cost per day is 50 dollars

y = 50x +b

Using the data for 2 days

125 = 50*2 +b

125 = 100 +b

125-100 = b

b = 25

The equation is y = 50x+25

f(x) = 50x+25

To graph, The x axis is number of days and the y axis is total cost

The number of days starts with 0, which is the y intercept

Let x = 0, y =25

Using the slope, we go 50 up and 1 to the right ( 50 dollars per day)

The next point plotted ins ( 1,50)

Draw a straight line
