Two basketballs are thrown along different paths. Determine if the basketballs’ paths are parallel to each

Answer:

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

  • Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent.
  • Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
  • And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.

So, let's find the slope of each equation.

The first basketball is modeled by:

\displaystyle 3x+4y=12

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3<em>x</em> from both sides:

4y=-3x+12

And divide both sides by four:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x+3

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.

The second basketball is modeled by:

-6x-8y=24

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6<em>x</em> to both sides:

-8y=6x+24

And divide both sides by negative eight:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

What is the value for m and n?
Inga [223]

Answer:

M = 8 N = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying exponents adds the exponent, meaning that inside of the brackets, it is a^4 * b^5. Multiply the exponents by two because you are squaring the entire equation. Therefore, m=8 and n=10

Answer:

Symmetry is correspondence of the form and arrangement of elements or parts on opposite sides of a dividing line. imagine that this ractangle is a piece of paper, you need to fold it two times, different ways. in this case when you fold it over the horizontal colored line all colored parts will match, same case when you fold it vertically.
