Answer:

The lines are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>

Are the two lines parallel, perpendicular, or neither? Explain your answer

3x + 7y = 15

7x − 3y = 6

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of the slopes is equal to -1)

Remember that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

3x + 7y = 15 ----> equation A

isolate the variable y and convert the equation in slope intercept form

y=\frac{15-3x}{7}

y=\frac{15}{7}-\frac{3}{7}x

The slope of the line A is m_A=-\frac{3}{7}

7x-3y = 6 ---> equation B

isolate the variable y and convert the equation in slope intercept form

y=\frac{7x-6}{3}

y=\frac{7}{3}x-2

The slope of the line B is m_B=\frac{7}{3}

Compare the slopes

m_A\neq m_B ---> the lines are not parallel

m_A* m_B=(-\frac{3}{7})*(\frac{7}{3})=-1

so

The slopes are opposite reciprocal

therefore

The lines are perpendicular

What is the rate of change of the volume of the cylinder at that instance (in cubic kilometers per second)?
Kay [80]

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : -2400 π

Step-by-step explanation:

dr/dt = -12 km/s

h = 2.5 km

r = 40 km at some instant

hence the rate of change of Volume of cylinder at that instance

= dv / dt = d(\pi r^h ) / dt  

              = \pi h\frac{d(r^2)}{dt}  = -\pi h *2r *dr/dt

hence ; dv / dt = -2400 π
