Answer:

They are neither parallel nor perpendicular, since slope are different and not related by any equation

Step-by-step explanation:

First arrange them according to general equation:

$y = mx + c$

for the first equation :

$5x + 6y = 18 \\ 6y = - 5x + 18 \\ { \boxed{y = - \frac{5}{6} x + 3}}$

for the second equation :

$18x - 15y = 36 \\ 15y = 18x - 36 \\ y = \frac{18}{15} x - \frac{12}{5}$

X has to be a larger valued negative number than y for the equation to be valid.

A source of laser light sends rays AB and AC toward two opposite walls of a hall. The light rays strike the walls at points B an

Let $x$ be the distance from the left wall to the laser source and $y$ the distance form the right wall to the laser source.

We can use the cosine trigonometric function in the smaller triangle to relate the adjacent side of the angle and the hypotenuse; then we can solve for $x$ :
$cos( \alpha )= \frac{adjacent.side}{hypotenuse}$
$cos(60)= \frac{x}{40}$
$x=40cos(60)$
$x=20m$

We can use the tangent trigonometric function in the larger triangle to relate the opposite side of the angle and its adjacent side; then we can solve for $y$ :
$tan( \alpha )= \frac{opposite.side}{adjacent.side}$
$tan(45)= \frac{80}{y}$
$y= \frac{80}{tan(45)}$
$y=80m$

Now we can add both distances:
$20m+80m=100m$

We can conclude that the distance between the walls is 100 m.
