Answer:

1.  y + 3 = 3/5(x)

2. y - 10 = \frac{1}{2}(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

When a line is parallel to another line, it means that the two lines have the same slope. So, for this first problem, the slope of the other parallel line would have to be 3/5.

In the problem, they've given you a point of (0, -3).

Now, you can can plug everything you know into the point slope formula which is...

y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1}).

x_{1} and y_{1} are the points that you plug in, and m is the slope.

After you plug everything in, you should get:

y + 3 = 3/5(x + 0)

You don't really need to include the 0, so your final equation would be

y + 3 = 3/5(x).

2.

When a line is perpendicular to another line, it means that the slope of the other is its opposite reciprocal. This means that the slope of the perpendicular line would be 1/2. I got this by dividing 2 by 1 and multiplying it by -1.

reciprocal of -2 = -\frac{1}{2} x -1 =

You can do the same thing we did in the previous problem with the point given here, which is (-3, 10).

y - 10 = \frac{1}{2}(x + 3)

An animal shelter spends 5.50 per day to care for each bird and 8.50 per Day to care for each cat and a notice that the shelter
Deffense [45]

Answer:

19 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I wrote my two equations:

5.5x +8.5y = 291.5

x + y = 41

Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!

In a recent poll, 70% of people order
Anton [14]

Answer:

I'm not totally sure this is a VERY tricky question but I do know that 3 people did not say yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if 70% of people said that they order toppings on pizza, then 30% don't order toppings. Therefore out of 10 people, 7 order toppings and 3 don't.

Use substitution. What is the solution to the system of equations?<br><br> y=1/2x+2<br> 2y=x+4
morpeh [17]

Answer: Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

y=\frac{1}{2}x+2\\2y=x+4\\

Use \frac{1}{2} x+2 for y in 2y=x+4

2(\frac{1}{2}x+2)=x+4\\x+4=x+4\\x-x = 4-4\\0=0

Infinitely many solutions.
