Answer:

5 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Make equations:

x+y = 16

3x-4 = y

Substitute 3x-4 as y in x+y = 16

You get x + 3x - 4 = 16

Simplify into 4x - 4 = 16

Add 4 on both sides

you get 4x = 20

Divide each side by 4,

You get x = 5. Plug 5 back into x+y = 16

Subtract 5 from both sides, and you get y = 11

First, let's convert each line to slope-intercept form to better see the slopes.

Isolate the y variable for each equation.

2x + 6y = -12

Subtract 2x from both sides.

6y = -12 - 2x

Divide both sides by 6.

y = -2 - 1/3x

Rearrange.

y = -1/3x - 2


Line b:

2y = 3x - 10

Divide both sides by 2.

y = 1.5x - 5


Line c:

3x - 2y = -4

Add 2y to both sides.

3x = -4 + 2y

Add 4 to both sides.

2y = 3x + 4

Divide both sides by 2.

y = 1.5x + 2


Now, let's compare our new equations:

Line a: y = -1/3x - 2

Line b: y = 1.5x - 5

Line c: y = 1.5x + 2

Now, the rule for parallel and perpendicular lines is as follows:

For two lines to be parallel, they must have equal slopes.

For two lines to be perpendicular, one must have the negative reciprocal of the other.

In this case, line b and c are parallel, and they have the same slope, but different y-intercepts.

However, none of the lines are perpendicular, as -1/3x is not the negative reciprocal of 1.5x, or 3/2x.

<h3><u>B and C are parallel, no perpendicular lines.</u></h3>
