<h3>Answer: A) intersecting</h3>

-----------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

Solve the first equation for y

x+y = ab

y = -x+ab

y = -1x + ab

slope = -1, y intercept = ab

-----------

Solve for y in the second equation

bx - y = a

bx - y - a = 0

bx-a = y

y = bx - a

Slope = b, y intercept = -a

-----------

The first equation has a slope of -1. The second equation has a slope of b.

Since b cannot equal -1, this means the two equations have different slopes. It is impossible for these two lines to be parallel, because parallel lines have equal slopes. The different slope values tell us the lines cross at exactly one point.

Y=-4x-41 that passes through (-2,7)
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Parallel: y=-4x-1

Perpendicular: y=-4x+13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

For the equation y=-4x-41, the slope is -4. Writing a line related to this equation has two options:

  • If the line will be parallel to it then this is the slope of the new line as well. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.

(y-7)=-4(x--2)


y-7=-4x-8


y=-4x-1

  • If the line will be perpendicular to it then the slope is the negative reciprocal of the previous slope. It is 1/4.

(y-7)=1/4(x--2)


y-7=1/4x-1/2


y=-4x+13/2

6.25t plus 8 = 12.5t plus 13
givi [52]

6.25t + 8 = 12.5t + 13

Subtract 8 from both sides

6.25t = 12.5t +5

Subtract 12.5t from both sides

-6.25t = 5

Divide -6.25 by both sides

t = 0.8

A triangle has sides with lengths of 12 kilometers, 35 kilometers, and 37 kilometers. Is it a right triangle?
quester [9]

Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagorean theorem WHICH ONLY WORKS FOR RIGHT TRIANGLES,

a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the two shortest legs.

12^2+35^2=c^2

144+1225=c^2

c^2=1369

c=

c=37
