Question

what do the following two equations represent? please help 4x+2y= 10 4x-2y= -10 a) the same line b) distance parallel lines c) perpendicular lines d) intersecting, but not perpendicular lines

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations are

● 4x + 2y = 10 (1)

● 4x - 2y = -10 (2)

● 4x + 2y = 10

Add - 4x to both sides

● 4x + 2y -4x = 10 -4x

● 2y = 10 -4x

Divide both sides by 2

● 2y/2 = (10 - 4x)/2

● y = 5 - 2x

● y = -2x + 5 (1)

● 4x - 2y = -10

Add -4x to both sides

● 4x -2y -4x = -10 - 4x

● -2y = -10 - 4x

Divide both sides by -2

● -2y/-2 = (-10 -4x)/-2

● y = 10 + 2x

● y = 2x + 5 (2)

So the equation are

● y = 2x + 5

● y = -2x + 5

Graph them

The lines intersect at (0,5) but aren't perpendicular

So the answer is d
