Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope and b = y-intercept

The equation is: y = -3x + 6

The m value for this is -3, so the line has a slope of -3. If y = 1/3x - 8 was parallel to y = -3x + 6 then they would have the same slope, which they do not. So they aren't parallel.

The find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of y = -3x + 6. The negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3.  y = 1/3x - 8 has a slope of 1/3, so they are perpendicular to each other.

HELP PLEASE

If you had values instead of algebraic expressions, you would find the area of the patio and subtract that from the area of the yard. Even though you don't have values, you can still find the area and subtract by expanding and simplifying:
(8x + 2)(6x + 3)
8x × 6x = 48x²
8x × 3 = 24x
2 × 6x = 12x
2 × 3 = 6
So you get 48x² + 36x + 6 as your area of the yard

(x + 5)(3x + 1)
x × 3x = 3x²
x × 1 = x
5 × 3x = 15x
5 × 1 = 5
So the area of the patio is 3x² + 16x + 5

(48x² + 36x + 6) - (3x² + 16x + 5)
48x² - 3x² = 45x²
36x - 16x = 20x
6 - 5 = 1

So your answer is D. 45x² + 20x + 1. I hope this helps!

field biologist collects 220 butterflies and moths. He collects 4 butterflies for every moth. How many butterflies and how many
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The number of butterflies he collects = 176

The number of moth he collects = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to do with ratio.

We are told in the question that:He collects 4 butterflies for every moth.

Hence, the ratio of

Butterflies : Moth

4 : 1

Sum of the proportion = 4 + 1 = 5

We are also told he has a total of 220 butterflies and moths.

Hence:

The number of butterflies he collects is calculated as

4/5 × 220 = 176 butterflies

The number of moth that he collects =

1/5 × 220 = 44 moth
