Use slope to determine if lines PQ and RS are parallel, perpendicular, or neither P(-3,14) q(2,-1) r(4,8) s(-2,-10)

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of PQ is -3.

The slope of RS is 3.

Parallel lines have the same slope. The slopes for perpendicular lines are the opposite of the reciprocal. PQ and RS are intersecting lines, but not parallel or perpendicular.

Answer:

75 cheeseburgers and 86 french fries

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a guessing math problem so do a random amount and change amount of items to get closer to the answer

81 x 3 = $243

80 x 1.50 = $120

243 + 120 = 363 -354 = 9 dollars

we need nine less dollars so 9/1.5 = 6 so six more fries

86 x 1.5 = 129

75 x 3 = 225

129 + 225 = $354

The weight of Jane and Jessica was in the ratio of 8 : 9. Jane gained 2 kg while Jessica lost 4 kg. They then had the same weigh

postnew [5]

Answer:

48 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations can be used to write a system of equations for the two weights. Those can be solved to find Jane's weight.

<h3>setup</h3>

Let x and y represent Jane's and Jessica's original weight, respectively. The ratio of weights was ...

x/y = 8/9

After the changes in weight, they were equal:

x+2 = y-4

<h3>solution</h3>

Adding 4 to the second equation, we have an expression for y that can be substituted into the first equation.

y = x +6 . . . . . . . . . . solve the second equation for y

x/(x+6) = 8/9 . . . . . . substitute for y in the first equation

9x = 8(x +6) . . . . . . . multiply by 9(x+6)

x = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and subtract 8x

Jane weighed 48 kg at first.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The original difference in "ratio units" was 9-8 = 1 ratio unit. We find that this corresponds to 6 kg after the weight changes make the weights equal. Then 8 ratio units will be 8(6 kg) = 48 kg—Jane's original weight.

(This mental solution is virtually the same as the solution using equations shown above.)

How do you do this question?

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

C) π/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The area under the curve from x=-π/2 to x=k is 3 times the area under the curve from x=k to x=π/2.

$\int\limits^k_{-\frac{\pi }{2}} {cos\ x} \, dx = 3\int\limits^{\frac{\pi }{2}}_k {cos\ x} \, dx\\sin\ x\ |^{k}_{-\frac{\pi }{2}} = 3\ sin\ x\ |^{\frac{\pi }{2}}_k\\(sin\ k - (-1)) = 3\ (1 - sin\ k)\\sin\ k + 1 = 3 - 3\ sin\ k\\4\ sin\ k = 2\\sin\ k = \frac{1}{2}\\k = \frac{\pi}{6}$

A norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. Find the dimensions of a norman

Yanka [14]

Answer:

$W\approx 8.72$ and $L\approx 15.57$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a norman window is constructed by adjoining a semicircle to the top of an ordinary rectangular. The total perimeter is 38 feet.

The perimeter of the window will be equal to three sides of rectangle plus half the perimeter of circle. We can represent our given information in an equation as:

$2L+W+\frac{1}{2}(2\pi r)=38$
