Help! It says that I need to determine If both equations represent lines which are parallel, perpendicular, or none...
1 answer:
4x + 2y = 8 (1)
8x + 4y = -4y (2)
A) Two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient
- putting both equations into the gradient- intercept form ( y = mx + c where m is the gradient)
(1) 4x + 2y = 8
2y = 8 - 4x
y = -2x + 4
(2) 8x + 4y = -4y
<span> </span>8x = -4y - 4y
y =
y = -x
<span>Thus the gradient of the two equations are different and as such the two lines are not parallel
</span>
B) When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradient is -1
p = (-2) * (-1)
p = 2
<span> ∴ the two lines are not perpendicular either.</span>
Thus these lines are SKEWED LINES

Step-by-step explanation:
______________________________________________
We are asked to convert "5 square root of a" ; into "exponential form".
Note that "5 square root of a" ;
or; " 5 root a " ;
means: " 5 times the {square root of the variable, "a" };
or : " 5 multiplied by the {square root of the variable, "a" }.
_______________________________________________
This can be written as: " " .

<u>Note the following property of exponents</u>:
