So to have a line parallel the equation is: m1 = m2, meaning the slope (represented by m in this equation) is equal. So in the equation. 3y = - 2x + 4 you need to simplify the equation by dividing both sides by 3. Which would be like so: y = - 2/3x + 4/3, which the slope will be -2/3.
To be perpindicular you need the slope to be: m1 * m2 = - 1. So because we already know that the slope is -2/3, all we need to do is set up an equation: -2/3 * y = - 1
<u>Option A</u> identifies two angles (sufficient for similarity) and one side, sufficient (with similarity) for congruence. The applicable congruence theorem is AAS.
<u>Option B</u> identifies two sides and the angle not between them. The two triangles will be congruent in that case only if the angle is opposite the longest side, which is <u>not true</u> in general.
<u>Option C</u> same deal as Option A.
<u>Option D</u> identifies three congruent angles, which will prove the triangles similar, but not necessarily congruent.
If Jasmine wants to have an equal quantity of forks and spoons, we need to list the multiples of each quantity and determine the least common multiple (LCM).
Forks: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90
Spoons: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96
The LCM in this example is 60. In order to have exactly 60 forks and 60 spoons, Jasmine will need to buy 6 packages of forks [60 ÷ 10 = 6] and 5 packages of spoons [60 ÷ 12 = 5].
