Answer: No, y = -2/5x + 3 and y = 2/5x + 3 are not parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally speaking, parallel lines are lines that do not intersect. This means that they always have the same slope and different y intercepts, like y = 4x + 3 and y = 4x - 5.

On the other hand, perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at 90° angles. They have inverse slopes, or slopes that are the reciprocals of each other. Inverse slopes should be completely opposite to each other, which means flipping the numerator and the denominator and also changing the sign. One example is y = 2x + 4 and y = -1/2 x + 4.

Back to lines y = -2/5x + 3 and y = 2/5x + 3, they are not parallel because they have different slopes and the same y intercept. They are also not perpendicular because their slopes are not the inverses of each other.

You can also tell if the lines are parallel by inserting them into Desmos and seeing how they look. In this case, the lines intersect, and so once again they are not parallel.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The line on the left has equation y = x - 2

The start of the line has an open circle at x = 3 meaning that x ≠ 3

The line is defined as y = x - 2 for x < 3

The line on the right has equation y = x - 1

The start of the line has a closed circle at x = 3 meaning that x can equal 3

The line is defined as y = x - 1 for x ≥ 3

Thus the definition of the function is C

Answer:  D) 8

Work Shown:

32/24 = 2x/12

32*12 = 24*2x

384 = 48x

48x = 384

x = 384/48

x = 8

The graph shows the side view of a water slide
GaryK [48]

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the graph shows the side view of a water slide with dimensions in feet.

We are to find the rate of change between the points (0, ?) and (?, 40).

From the graph, we note that

the y co-ordinate for the x co-ordinate 0 is 80 and the x co-ordinate for the y co-ordinate 40 is 5.

So, the given two points are (0, 80) and (5, 40).

The rate of change for a function f(x) between the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

Therefore, the rate of change for the given function between the points (0, 80) and (5, 40) is

Thus, the required rate of change is -8.
