You need to convert the second equation to slope/intercept form. The first equation is in that form already. Then you can compare slopes.
-6x + 8y = 14
8y = 6x + 14
y = (3/4)x + 14/8
SO THE SLOPE IS 3/4 which is the same as slope of equation 1
Therfore they are parallel.
Answer: i would say 60 cm sorry if im wrong i think your missing a number
Step-by-step explanation:
Please, see the offered decision:
1) common equation for lines is y=kx+b. If k₁=k₂ (for line 1 and line 2) ⇒ 'line 1' || 'line 2'.
2) for line 3x+5y=6 k= -3/5. It means (according to item 1) for unknown line k is the same (-3/5).
3) using points (0;3) it is easy to find parameter b (x=0, y=3) via y=kx+b:
3=0*(-3/5)+b ⇔ b=3.
4) finaly (k=-3/5; b=3):
Answer:
the correct answer is B. 135 cu. units
