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

Paul [167]2 years ago

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.

A clothing store sold 4 times as many sweaters as coats. The difference in the sales was 300. How many of each were sold?
slava [35]
Sweater = 400
coats = 100
difference= 300
in an equation it would be
4x-x=300
so
3x=300
x=100
sweaters= 4x= 400
coats= x= 100

29. Consider the diagram below. Solve for x
Flauer [41]

Answer:

x = 76

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are same side interior angles and same side interior angles are supplementary, which means they add to 180

x+104 = 180

Subtract 104 from each side

x+104-104 = 180-104

x =76

The highest elevation in a small country occurs on a mountain 1,232 meter above sea level, while the lowest elevation in the sam
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: 1,259 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven: The highest elevation in a small country occurs on a mountain above sea level = 1,232 meter

The lowest elevation in the same country occurs below sea level = -27 meters

The difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points = Highest - lowest

= 1232 - (-27) meters

= 1232+27 meters   [ (-)(-)=(+) ]

= 1259 meters

Hence, the difference in elevation between the highest and lowest points = 1,259 meters.
