2 Answers:

  • B)  The lines are parallel
  • C)  The lines have the same slope.

Parallel lines always have equal slope, but different y intercepts.

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's solve the second equation for y

3y - x = -7

3y = -7+x

3y = x-7

y = (x-7)/3

y = x/3 - 7/3

y = (1/3)x - 7/3

The equation is in y = mx+b form with m = 1/3 as the slope and b = -7/3 as the y intercept. We see that the first equation, where y was already isolated, also has a slope of m = 1/3. The two equations of this system have the same slope. Choice C is one of the answers.

However, they don't have the same y intercept. The first equation has y intercept b = -4, while the second has b = -7/3. This means that they do not represent the same line. They need to have identical slopes, and identical y intercepts (though the slope can be different from the y intercept of course) in order to have identical lines. So we can rule out choice D and E because of this.

Because the two equations have the same slope, but different y intercepts, this means the lines are parallel. Choice B is the other answer.

Parallel lines never touch or intersect, which in turn means there is no solution point. A solution point is where the lines cross. We can rule out choice A.

I recommend using your graphing calculator, Desmos, GeoGebra, or any graphing tool (on your computer or online) to graph each equation given. You should see two parallel lines forming. I used GeoGebra to make the graph shown below.

Are 6/10 and 6/30 multiples of 3/10
Fantom [35]
10 is not a multiple of 3 so no 6/10 is not multiples for 3/10 and 6 is not a mutiple of 10 so it can't be also the same with 6/30 although 6/30 is multiples for 3 but 6 is not a mutiple for 10.

If there are a total of 25 questions, and I scored 56% on my test, how many answers did I get right, and how many answers did I
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

14 correct and 11 wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

If you got a 56% , we need to change this to decimal form 56% = .56

This is the percent you got right

.56* 25 = 14

You got 14 questions right

To determine the number of questions you got wrong, take the total number of questions minus the number you got right.

25-14 =11

You got 11 wrong
