- Slope Formula:

So remember that <u>perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals to each other</u> and <u>parallel lines have the same slope.</u> To find out if they are either parallel or perpendicular, plug the pair of points into the slope formula to find their slopes:

Since these slopes aren't the same nor are they negative reciprocals to each other, <u>the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.</u>
An octagon has 8 sides. Each side is given as 2a + 1
Perimeter = 8(2a + 1)
= 16a + 8
Answer: 16a + 8
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ratio is 1.5. If the input is 8, the output has to be 12.
<h3>Multiplication Property of Equality is the missing reason</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
five thirds times x plus 2 equals negative 3
Therefore,

<em><u>Multiplication Property of Equality</u></em>
The Multiplication Property of Equality means that, if both sides of an equation is multiplied by same number, the equation still remains equal

Multiply both sides by 3

<em><u>Subtraction Property of Equality</u></em>
The Subtraction Property of Equality means that, we can subtract the same number from both sides of equation and the equation will still be true
5x + 6 = -9
Subtract 6 from both sides
5x + 6 - 6 = -9 - 6
5x = -15
<em><u>Division Property of Equality</u></em>
The Division Property of Equality means that, if both sides of an equation is divided by same number, the equation still remains true
5x = -15
Divide both sides by 5
x = -3
