If you have anymore questions let me know. I’m sorry if it seems a little bit confusing, just follow the numbers 1,2, and 3.
-7+3x+7x = 7x+5
10x-7 = 7x+5
-7x -7x
3x-7 = 5
+7 +7
3x = 12
x=4
3x+8.5 =2.5x + 14.5
subtract 2.5x from each side
.5x + 8.5 = 14.5
subtract 8.5 from each side
.5x =6
multiply by 2
x =12
at 12 weeks they will be the same height
Choice B
Answer:
Parallel: y = -5x - 34 ; Perpendicular: y = 1/5x - 14/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Lines that are parallel have the same slope. Lines that are perpendicular have opposite reciprocal slopes. (Ex. 1/3 ⇒ -3)
We need to substitute the given values into the point-slope form equation.
Parallel:
y + 4 = -5(x + 6)
y + 4 = -5x - 30
y = -5x - 34
Perpendicular:
y + 4 = 1/5(x + 6)
y + 4 = 1/5x + 6/5
y = 1/5x - 14/5
