Y = 2/3 x -3 y = -3/2 x +2 what statement about the lines are true

Mathematics
1 answer:
Hoochie [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The product of the slopes of lines is -1.

i.e. m₁ × m₂ = -1

Thus, the lines are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the lines

y = 2/3 x -3       --- Line 1

y = -3/2x +2      --- Line 2

<u>The slope of line 1</u>

y = 2/3 x -3       --- Line 1

By comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

The slope of line 1 is: m₁ = 2/3

<u>The slope of line 2</u>

y = -3/2x +2      --- Line 2

By comparing with the slope-intercept y = mx+b form of the line equation

The slope of line 2 is: m₂ = -3/2

We know that when two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1.

Let us check the product of two slopes m₁ and m₂

m₁ × m₂ = (2/3)(-3/2 )

m₁ × m₂ = -1

Thus, the product of the slopes of lines is -1.

i.e. m₁ × m₂ = -1

Thus, the lines are perpendicular.

CDEF is a parallelogram. Solve for x. ​
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = 3x - 12 (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

24 + 12 = 3x

36 = 3x

36/3 = x

12 = x
