Which two lines are parallel?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Masteriza [31]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  • 3x + y = -2
  • 2y = -6x – 8

Step-by-step explanation:

When the equations are written in the same form, the ratio of x coefficient to y coefficient is the same for parallel lines.

These equations in the same form are ...

  • 3x +y = -2
  • -6x +2y = 4
  • 6x +2y = -8

The first and last of these equations have a ratio of x-coefficient to y-coefficient of ...

  (x-coefficient)/(y-coefficient) = 3/1 = 6/2

so the lines are parallel.

The second equation has a ratio that is the opposite of this.

__

<em>Alternate approach</em>

You can put each equation into slope-intercept form (solve for y). The x-coefficient is then the slope of the line. Parallel lines** have equal slopes.

  • y = -3x -2 **
  • y = 3x +2
  • y = -3x -4 **

_____

I find a graphing calculator to be a big help for many problems involving equations and their characteristics.

Jada was using square stickers with a side length of 3/434 inch to decorate the spine of a photo album. The spine is 10 1/21012
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: The number of stickers she used to cover the length of the spine = 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of spine = 10\dfrac12 inches  = \dfrac{21}{2} inches

Length of each sticker = \dfrac34 inch

If she laid the stickers side by side without gaps or overlaps, the number of stickers she use to cover the length of the spine = \text{(Length of spine)}\div (\text{Length of each sticker})

=\dfrac{21}{2}\div\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{2}\times\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{7\times2}{1}=14

The number of stickers she used to cover the length of the spine = 14.
