Lines are perpendicular to each other when their slopes are of the opposite parity (plus or minus) and the reciprocal of each other. I will check the answer that you have given. Already, in one of the equations, (y - 3 = 4/7x)we can see the slope. Now we just need to find the slope in 7x+4y=20. We can do this by isolating y and then getting y by itself. Doing this, we get:

4y = -7x + 20
y = -7/4x + 5

Since we can see that the slopes of the two lines multiply to negative one, then you are right, the two lines are parallel.

Answer:

Speed of sound is 340 meter per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of sound = x meter per second.

It is given that,

The new mode of travel has the speed 170 meter per second, which is 50% less than the speed of sound.

So, we get,

x - 50%x = 170

i.e. x - 0.5x = 170

i.e. 0.5x = 170

i.e. x = 340 meter per second

Hence, the speed of sound is 340 meter per second.
