Yes they will be parallel. Now you try to solve it.
Formula for slope: y2-y1/x2-x1
Plug in values.
3-8/-4-(-7)= -5/3 = slope
42-1/36-12=41/24=slope
Answer
Find out the length of the shorter and longer pieces of a board .
To prove
Let us assume that the length of the shorter pieces be x.
As given
Jared has a wooden board that is 11 ft long.
He wants to cut it into two pieces so that the longer piece is 4 ft less than 4 times the length of the shorter piece.
Than the length of the longer pieces = 4x - 4
Than the equation becomes
x + 4x - 4 = 11
5x = 11 + 4
5x = 15
![x = \frac{15}{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B5%7D)
x = 3 ft
Therefore the length of the shorter pieces be 3 ft .
The length of the longer pieces = 4x - 4
= 4 × 3 - 4
= 12 - 4
= 8 ft
Therefore the length of the longer pieces be 8 ft .
16q= 3.20
÷16 on both sides
and you get .20 cents per ounce.
