The easiest way to tell whether lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither is when they are written in slope-intercept form or y = mx + b. We will begin by putting both of our equations into this format.

The first equation, y =  \frac{1}{2}x - 1 is already in slope intercept form. The slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is -1.

The second equation requires rearranging.
y + 4 =  -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2) \\ y + 4 = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1 \\ y = - \frac{1}{2} x- 3
From this equation, we can see that the slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is -3.

When lines are parallel, they have the same slope. This is not the case with these lines because one has slope of 1/2 and the other has slope of -1/2. Since these are not the same our lines are not parallel.

When lines are perpendicular, the slope of one is the negative reciprocal of the other. That is, if one had slope 2, the other would have slope -1/2. This also is not the case in this problem.

Thus, we conclude that the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

About 64.65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

\tan(x) =  \frac{190}{90}

x =  { \tan}^{ - 1}  \frac{190}{90}  = 64.65

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

5/10 + 8/100= ? <br> 13/100, 40/100, 58/100, 6/10
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

58/100

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to make the two fractions have a common denominator. 5/10=50/100. Now you can add the two fractions together. 50/100+8/100=58/100. Hope this helps!

Plz help this is complicated
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Graph attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question the given parameters are as followed.

y=7cos(\frac{x}{2})+1

1). Amplitude a = 7

2). Period = \frac{2\pi }{\frac{1}{2}}=2\pi \times 2=4\pi

3). Vertical shift = 1 means mid line of the graph will be y =1 and maximum of the graph is 8 and minimum is -6.

Write parametric equations of the line y=4x-5
Rasek [7]

Answer:

A set of parametric equations for the line y = 4x - 5 is;

x = t

y = 4t - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a set of parametric equations for the line y = 4x - 5;

We can assign either variable x or y equal to the parameter t, in this case we can easily let x = t

We then substitute x = t in the original equation;

y = 4t - 5

Therefore, a set of parametric equations for the line y = 4x - 5 is;

x = t

y = 4t - 5
