Answer:
-5x + 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Use distributive property to refine.
20 - 2x + 36 - 3x
Combine Like Terms
-5x + 56
For lines to be parallel, the slopes have to be the SAME.
For lines to be perpendicular, the slopes have to be the exact opposite. (opposite sign and number)
For example(perpendicular):
slope is 2
the perpendicular slope is -1/2
slope is -4/5
the perpendicular slope is 5/4
12. line a and b are perpendicular
13. Line a: y = 3/5x + 1
Line b: y = 3/5x - 2/5
Line c: y = 4/6 + 5/3x
line a and b are parallel
14. Line a: y = 3x + 6
Line b: y = 6 - 3x
Line c: y = 2/3x + 6
Neither, none of them are parallel or perpendicular
15. Line a: y = -2/3 + 4/3x
Line b: y = -1/4 - 3/4x
Line c: y = 5 + 3/4x
line a and b are perpendicular
You need the Law of Cosines here and you use it when you have 2 sides and an enclosed angle. The side across from the angle is the one we are looking for. The correct way to express the Law using what we have is the last choice above. Side RT is the unknown, and it is across from the angle that is enclosed between the 2 other sides.
