Give the following equations determine if the lines are parallel perpendicular or neither

GaryK [48]

In order to determine whether the equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, let's simply each equation into a slope-intercept form or basically, solve for y.

Let's start with the first equation.

$\frac{6x-5y}{2}=x+1$

Cross multiply both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y=2(x+1)$ $6x-5y=2x+2$

Subtract 6x on both sides of the equation.

$6x-5y-6x=2x+2-6x$ $-5y=-4x+2$

Divide both sides of the equation by -5.

$-\frac{5y}{-5}=\frac{-4x}{-5}+\frac{2}{-5}$ $y=\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the first equation is 4/5.

Let's now simplify the second equation.

$-4y-x=4x+5$

Add x on both sides of the equation.

$-4y-x+x=4x+5+x$ $-4y=5x+5$

Divide both sides of the equation by -4.

$\frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{5x}{-4}+\frac{5}{-4}$ $y=-\frac{5}{4}x-\frac{5}{4}$

Therefore, the slope of the second equation is -5/4.

Since the slope of each equation is the negative reciprocal of each other, then the graph of the two equations is perpendicular to each other.

Eric's average income for the four months of the year 1450 point to $5 what must be his average income for the remaining eight m

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

$2668.63

Step-by-step explanation:

If the average of 4 months is $5

Meaning the total sum for 4 months

4×5 =$20

If the average for the year was $1780.75

It means the total sum for a year is;

$1780.75×12 =$21369

This means the money received for the remaining 8 months is;

$21369-$20=$21349

Hence the average income for the remaining 8months is ;

The total amount for 8 months / 8;

$21349/8= $2668.625

$2668.63

What is the slope of the line passing through the points ( −3 , 4 ) and ( 4, −1 )?

ziro4ka [17]

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-1 - 4)/(4 - (-3)) = -5/(4 + 3) = -5/7
