Are the lines y = –x – 4 and 5x -5y = 20 perpendicular? Explain.

Mathematics

Zarrin [17]3 years ago

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes = - 1

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 1

5x - 5y = 20 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 5y = - 5x + 20 ( divide all terms by - 5 )

y = x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

Thus product of their slopes is - 1 × 1 = - 1

Therefore the lines are perpendicular

2. Find the value of x and y
postnew [5]

Answer:

62 = 4x + 2 \\ 12y = 144 \\  \\ 4x = 62 - 2 \\ 4x = 60 \\ x =  \frac{60}{4}  \\ x = 15 \\  \\ y = \frac{144}{12}  \\ y = 12

Rachel’s mother tells her she can play at the arcade as long as the cost does not exceed $24. Each game costs $1.50.
Deffense [45]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

If each game is $1.50 we would divide the 24 by 1.50, or multiple 1.50 to find 24. So 24 divided by 1.50 is 16.

So she could play 16 games.
