Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) if to re-write the given equation into slope-interception form, then:
the slope of the given line is 5/2;
2) according to the rule of perpendicular, the required slope should be:
s*(5/2)=-1;
3) if to solve this equation (s*5/2=-1), then s=-2/5 or -0.4.
Let's look at work rates per minute.
Together they can paint the wall in x minutes.
Working together, in 1 minute, they do 1/x of the job.
The student who paints the wall in 16 minutes does 1/16 of the job in 1 minute.
The student who paints the wall in 24 minutes does 1/24 of the job in 1 minute.
Together, they do 1/16 + 1/24 of the job in 1 minute, but from above, we see that together, they do 1/x of the job in 1 minute, so 1/16 + 1/24 must equal 1/x. That gives us our equation.
1/16 + 1/24 = 1/x
1/16 * 3/3 + 1/24 * 2/2 = 1/x
3/48 + 2/48 = 1/x
5/48 = 1/x
x = 48/5 = 9.6
Answer: It takes them 9.6 minutes, or about 10 minutes to do the job together.
If they are parallel then the coefficients of x and y will remain the same. Only the constant will change.
2x + 3y = ?
2(-2) +3(3) = -4 + 9 = 5 so ? is 5
ANSWER: 2x + 3y = 5
