Which two lines are parallel?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Masteriza [31]2 years ago

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.

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches shorter than double its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 192 inches. Write a two-s
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the width = x

Let the length = x + 5

Equation

2w + 2W = P

Solution

2x + 2(x + 5) = 192                  Remove the brackets    <=== Answer

2x + 2x + 10 = 192                  Combine like terms

4x + 10 = 192                          Subtract 10 from both sides

4x = 192 - 10                        

4x = 182                                 Divide by 4

4x/4 = 182/4

x = 45.5
