Answer:

The value of a is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, two lines a_1 x+b_1 y=c_1 and a_2 x+b_2 y=c_2 are called parallel lines,

If \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}

If 3x + 6y = 4 and ax-8y = 12 are parallel lines,

Then, by the above property,

\frac{3}{a}=\frac{6}{-8}\neq \frac{4}{12}

\implies \frac{3}{a}=\frac{6}{-8}

By cross multiplication,

-24 = 6a

\implies -4=a ( Dividing both terms by 6}

Hence, the value of a is -4 for which 4 = 3x + 6y and ax – 8y = 12 are parallel.

Find the slope of the graphed line.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

3/4 shall be our slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve the slope by doing this formula y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁ = slope.

Your coordinates:

(-4,0) and (0,3)

You have to set up your formula:

3 is the y2 and 0 is the y1

3-0 for y so far.


Now, set up the x's

0 is our x2 more known as our second x

Then our x1 is -4

0 - (-4).

Our Formula:

3-0 / 0+4

**Notice the negatives canceled to a positive due to the rule.**

3/4 shall be our slope.

You could've also risen and run starting from (-4,0) to (0,3) to get a slope of 3/4.
