Answer:

The lines are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

we have

$3x+7y=15$ ----> equation A

isolate the variable y

$7y=-3x+15$

Divide by 7 both sides

$y=-\frac{3}{7}x+\frac{15}{7}$

The slope of the line A is $m_A=-\frac{3}{7}$

$7x-3y=6$ ----> equation B

isolate the variable y

$3y=7x-6$

Divide by 3 both sides

$y=\frac{7}{3}x-2$

The slope of the line B is $m_B=\frac{7}{3}$

Compare the slope of both lines

$m_A=-\frac{3}{7}$

$m_B=\frac{7}{3}$

$m_A \neq m_B$ ----> the lines are not parallel

Find the product of the slopes

$-\frac{3}{7}(\frac{7}{3})=-1$ ----> the lines are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sin(45) = \frac{x}{5} \\ \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } = \frac{x}{5} \\ x = \frac{5}{ \sqrt{2} } = 3.535$

$\sin(45) = \frac{y}{5} \\ y = \frac{5}{ \sqrt{2} } = 3.535$

Maritza remembers her PIN because it is between 1,000 and 1,500 and it is the product of two consecutive prime numbers. What is

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The PIN is 1147

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime numbers

These are integer numbers that only divide exactly by themselves and by 1. To find the first possible prime number between 1,000 and 1,500, calculate the square root of 1,000.

$\sqrt{1000}\approx 31.6$

Thus, the first prime to consider is 31. Write the consecutive primes from 31:

31 , 37 , 41 , 43

We can see the only two consecutive primes whose product lies in the given interval are 31 and 37. Thus, the PIN is 31*37=1147

You are paid 1.5 times your normal hourly rate for each hour you work over 30 hours in a week. You work 33 hours this week and e

erma4kov [3.2K]

The normal hourly rate is $17.24.

In the question, we are given that we are paid 1.5 times our normal hourly rate for each hour we work over 30 hours in a week.

We are asked to find the normal hourly rate if we work for 33 hours this week and earned $594.78.

We assume the normal hourly rate to be $x.

While working for 33 hours, we work 33 - 30 = 3 extra hours.

Thus, we are paid at the normal hourly rate of $x for 30 hours and at 1.5 times the normal hourly rate, which is $1.5x for the additional 3 hours.

Thus, the total earning can be shown as $x*30 + $1.5x*3 = $(30x + 4.5x) = $34.5x.

But, we are given that the total earnings for the week after working for 33 hours is $594.78.

Thus, we can equate the two to get an equation, 34.5x = 594.78, which on solving gives us x = 17.24.

Thus, the normal hourly rate is $17.24.

What is the equation of the circle with center (5,-4) and containing the points (5,-2)

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The equation of a circle is $(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=4$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

-The equation of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$ (where center is $(h,k)$ , the point $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and the radius known as $r$ ).

-Use the center (5,-4) and the point (5,-2) for the equation:

$(5-5)^2+(-2+4)^2=r^2$

-Solve the equation:

$(5-5)^2+(-2+4)^2=r^2$

$0 + (-2)^2=r^2$

$4 = r^2$

$\sqrt{4} = \sqrt{r^2}$

$2 = r$

-After you found the radius, use the center (5, -4) and radius 2 to get the equation of a circle:

$(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=2^2$

-Then, after you have the equation, the radius needs to simplified by the exponent:

$(x-5)^2+(y+4)^2=4$
