Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope. 2 and -2 are not the same. For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be negative reciprocals (ex 5 and -1/5) The slopes of these lines are not the same or negative reciprocals, so they are not parallel or perpendicular.

Hope this helps :-)

Jemma is three times as old as Angie. Five years from now the sum of their ages will be 34 years. What are their present ages?

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: Angie = 6, Jemma = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the current age of Angie

Current Age Age 5 years from now

Angie: x x + 5

Jemma: 3x 3x + 5

5 years from now the sum of their ages is 34

(x + 5) + (3x + 5) = 34

4x + 10 = 34

4x = 24

x = 6

Angle's current age is x = 6

Jemma's current age is 3x = 3(6) = 18

BRAINLIST GIVEN What is the length of BC¯¯¯¯¯ ?

Temka [501]

since the ∡C = ∡B, that means their corresponding sides stemming from the vertex A are equal, namely AC = AB.

2x - 24 = x - 2

x = 22.

A 9-yard roll of string costs $3.42. What is the unit price?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

$0.38 per yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Given; A 9-yard roll of string that costs $3.42.

Required; To find the unit price

Step 2:

Convert $3.42 to cents

$1 ~dollar=100~cents ~\\therefore,\\$3.42=3.42~x~100=342~cents~$

Step 3:

Find the unit price

$\frac{9 yard}{1 yard} =\frac{342 ~cents}{x~cents}$

$9x=342$

$\frac{9x}{9} =\frac{342}{9}$

$x=38~cents$

Convert to dollars

$x=\frac{38}{100}$

$x=0.38~per~yard$

Hence the unit price is $0.38 per yard.

What are the domain and range of this function y=(x+3)^2 -5

n200080 [17]

Answer: Choice A

Note: the range should be $[-5, \infty)$ . See explanation below.

===================================================

We can plug in any real number for x to get some output for y. The domain is the set of all real numbers in which we say $(-\infty, \infty)$ which is interval notation. It represents the interval from negative infinity to positive infinity.

The range is the set of possible outputs. The smallest output possible is y = -5 which occurs at the vertex (3,-5). We can get this y value or larger. So we can describe the range as the set of y values such that $y \ge -5$ and that translates to the interval notation $[-5, \infty)$ .

The square bracket says "include this endpoint" while the curved parenthesis says to exclude the endpoint. Your teacher mistakenly wrote $(-5, \infty)$ for choice A, when they should have written $[-5, \infty)$

I think either your teacher made a typo or somehow the formatting messed up. Either way, choice A is the closest to the answer.
