Answer:

The lines are parallel, with the same slope of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that if slopes are the same, then the lines are parallel. If the slopes are opposite reciprocals, they are perpendicular. If they are neither of those cases, then they would be neither.

1) Since y = 5x + 1 is already in slope-intercept format (y = mx + b, in which m represents the slope) we know that 5 is the slope of that equation.

2) To find the slope of -5x + y = 6, let's just convert it to the slope-intercept format by isolating y on the left side like so:

$-5x + y = 6 \\y = 5x + 6$

(All you need to do is move -5x to the right side of the equation.) So, by looking at y = 5x + 6, we can do the same thing we did from step 1 and find that the slope is 5.

3) Since both of the equations' slopes are 5, they share the same slope - therefore, they are parallel.

Hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to ask any questions.

Solve for X 14 = 3x + 2

Answer : 4

Explanation : you minus the 2 on both sides bc they have the same "last name" by doing this you get 12 on the left and elimination 2 on the right which leaves you with 12=3x. Divide 3 on both sides which 12/3 =4 and ur left with x. So the final equation is 4=x

Shino says the formula to calculate the volume of the prism is V=Bh where B is the area of the base.Angelo says the formula is V

Kruka [31]

Answer:

it depends

Step-by-step explanation:

Shino's formula will work for any prism.

Angelo's formula will work for any prism whose base area can be found by ...

B = (1/2)ew

Angelo can use this formula for a triangular prism.

For a triangular prism, both may be correct.

For a prism of another shape, Shino is correct. (Angelo may also be correct, depending on the variable definitions.)

Determine if f(x, y) = 10 − x^2 − y^2

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x,y)=10-x^2-y^2

To find derivative of z w.r.t. x is treat any other variable as a constant.

dz/dx=0-2x-0

dz/dx=-2x

Evaluating this at (7,-3) gives us dz/dx=-2(7)=-14.

Since this result is negative, it mrans as x increases z decreases.

f(x,y)=10-x^2-y^2

To find derivative of z w.r.t. y is treat any other variable as a constant.

dz/dx=0-0-2y

dz/dx=-2y

Evaluating this at (7,-3) gives us dz/dy=-2(-3)=6.

Since this result is positive it mrans as y increases z decreases.
