Neither.

Parallel lines have the same slope.
Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes.

Rewriting the 2nd equation to solve for y,
You get:

Y=1/5x + 1/2

The first equation slope is negative, and the second is positive. However, the second slope is 1/5, and not 5/1 - which would be the negative reciprocal of (-1/5)from the first equation.

Hope that helps!

You have a pool that measures 8 yards by 10 yards. You want to build a deck around all four sides of the pool and you want to in

gladu [14]

Given:
pool length : 10 yards
pool width : 8 yards

Area = 10 yds * 8 yds = 80 yd²

(10 + 2x)(8 + 2x) = 120
10(8 + 2x) + 2x(8+2x) = 120
80 + 20x + 16x + 4x² = 120
4x² + 36x + 80 - 120 = 0
4x² + 36x - 40 = 0
4(x² + 9x - 10) = 0
4(x + 10)(x - 1) = 0

x + 10 = 0
x = -10
x - 1 = 0
x = 1

the width of the deck is 1 yard

in an election an amount of votes was share among parties A,B and C in the ratio of 1:2:4. How many votes party B obtained if pa

spayn [35]

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the share of votes obtained by the parties A, B and C be x, 2x and 4x respectively.

According to the given information:

No of votes obtained by C = 1500 + No of votes obtained by A

$\therefore 4x = 150. + x \\\\\therefore 4x - x = 1500\\\\\therefore 3x = 1500\\\\\therefore x = \frac{1500}{3} \\\\\therefore x = 500\\\\\because Votes \:obtained\: by \:B = 2x \\\\\therefore Votes \:obtained\: by \:B = 2\times 500\\\\\purple {\bold {\therefore Votes \:obtained\: by \:B = 1000}} \\\\$

Determine the equation of the line that passes through A(2,-5) and B(6,-3).

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-3 - (-5) / 6 - 2

2/4

= 1/2

y = 1/2x + b

-3 = 1/2(6) + b

-3 = 3 + b

-6 = b
