Write the equation of the lines in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
First equation: It is already in slope-intercept form
Second equation: solve y:
Identify the slope of each line:
If two or more lines have the same slope then the lines are parallel
If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals then the lines are perpendicular
The two given lines have the same slope: 2/5. Then, they are parallel lines
The equation of this line would be: y= x +4
Answer:
First backpacker should receive $4 and the second one $2
Step-by-step explanation:
notice that the total amount of rice for the three is 600 g.
Then, the first one that gave 400 g contributed 400 out of 600, that is 400/600 = 2/3
The second one contributed 200 out of 600, that is 200/600 = 1/3
then the first one should receive 2/3 of the $6 = (2/3) x 6 = $4
and the second one should receive 1/3 of the %6 = (1/3) x 6 = $2
Hmmmm
This looks like homework, you sure you've read the terms of service?
