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.

A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The combined weight of a large box and a small box is 70 p
nikklg [1K]
X = large boxes and y = small boxes

x + y = 70.....x = 70 - y
60x + 65y = 4300

60(70 - y) + 65y = 4300
4200 - 60y + 65y = 4300
5y = 4300 - 4200
5y = 100
y = 100/5
y = 20 <=== the small boxes weigh 20 lbs

x + y = 70
x + 20 = 70
x = 70 - 20
x = 50 <== and the large boxes weigh 50 lbs

Brad has two lengths of copper pipe to fit together. one has a length of 2 5/12 feet and the other has a length of 3 7/12 feet.
elena-s [515]
To find all of the feet of pipe that Brad has, you add both of the lengths of the pipes together. So 2 5/12+3 7/12. Add the numbers together first, 5. Then add the fractions, 5/12+7/12=1. So add 5 and 1 and you get 6 feet of pipe. Hope this helps.
