F is 8 h is 2 hope that helpssss
we have
6x+3y=12 -----> line p
Find the slope
3y=-6x+12
y=-2x+4
m=-2
-4x=2y-2 -----> line Q
2y=-4x+2
y=-2x+1
m=-2
therefore
the lines are parallel because their slopes are equal
For this case we have the following equation:

Where,
w: The weight of a spring in pounds
E: the energy stored by the spring in joules.
Substituting values we have:

Making the corresponding calculation:
Answer:
the approximate weight of the spring in pounds is:
