Answer:

The two lines are not parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every linear equation follows this structure:

y = mx + b

y is the y value

x is the x value

m is the gradient/slope of the line

b (or sometimes c) is the y-intercept of the line

Firstly, we have to get the y term on one side by itself.

6x + y = -1

-6x        -6x

y = -6x - 1

-2x -5y = 1

+2x         +2x

-5y = 2x + 1

Secondly, we make it so the y term is just the y value.

The first equation is already like this, so we don't need to do anything to that.

-5y = 2x + 1

÷ -5  ÷ -5

y = (2x + 1) / -5

This can be expanded and simplified to:

y = -2/5x - 1/5

Thirdly, we have to compare the slopes and y-intercepts.

y = -6x - 1

y = 2/5x - 1/5

If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different, they are parallel. However, the slopes are different, therefore they are not parallel.

Law of sines can be used to solve this problem:

(note - let x represent the missing side length.)

1. set up proportion.
sin 90°/25 = sin 55<span>°/x

2. solve.
(x) sin 90</span>° = (25) sin 55<span>°

(x) sin 90 </span>°/sin 90° = (25) sin 55° / sin 90<span>°
</span>

1. Which of the following relations are functions?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

R1 = {(1, 7) (2, 7) (4, 7) (6, 7)}

R3 = {(x, y) (y, z) (z, t) (t, v)}

R1 and R3 are functions because first element in the ordered pair is not repeating, i.e they have unique images
