The slope of the parallel line is 3/4
<h3>How to determine the slope?</h3>
The equation is given as:
3x - 4y = 8
Rewrite as:
4y = 3x - 8
Divide through by 4
y = 3x/4 - 2
A linear equation is represented as:
y = mx + b
Where m represents the slope
By comparison:
m = 3/4
Parallel lines have equal slope
Hence, the slope of the parallel line is 3/4

Solve each of the equations independently, then determine if the are continuous or discontinuous.
15≥-3x [start here]
-5≤x [divide both sides by (-3). *Dividing by a negative number means the direction of the sign changes!]
x≥-5 [just turned around for analysis]
Next equation:
2/3x≥-2 [start here]
x≥-2(3/2) [multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal, 3/2)
x≥-3
So, (according to the first equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -5.
(According to the second equation) all values of x must be greater than, or equal to -3.
So, when graphed on a number line, both equations graph in the same direction, so they are continuous.
Answer:
161 ft squared
Step-by-step explanation:
8 x 5 x 2 = 80
8 x 7 = 56
5 x 5 = 25
80 + 56 + 25
56 + 25 =81
80 + 81 = 161

12/x = 15/8
96 = 15x
x= 6.4 or 32/5
Answer:
11, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
an odd number can be represented by 2n+1
since they are consecutive, the larger odd number will be 2n + 1 + 2
now,
2(2n+3) = 2n + 1 +15
solving this eqn, we get n = 5
so the two numbers are (2n+1) = 11 and 11+2= 13
