<span>Two lines are parallel if their slope is the same.
You want to write 8x + 4y = 5 in the form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We need to isolate y in the given equation. The number next to x is the slope.
8x + 4y = 5
4y = -8x + 5
y = (-8x +5)/4
y = -2x + 5/4
The slope of the line we want is -2.
Two lines are perpendicular if the slope of the first line times the
slope of the second line produces a product of negative one.
Since our slope is -2, we know that -2 times 1/2 yields -1.
The slope of the line perpendicular is 1/2.

Answer:
So overall its saying: to find your answer you have to divide the diameter (15 inches) by 3.14 to get your circumference ! :)
Answer: 12
Step-by-step explanation:
|-12| |?| the lines on the outside mean that the answer has to be the absolute value examples:
|-3|=3
|2|=2
|-72|=72
In order to solve the problem above, represent the width by x. With this, the length of the rectangular portrait is 1.5x. The perimeter of the rectangle is two times the sum of the length and width. This translates to,
2 (1.5x + x) = 10 ft, x = 2 ft.
Thus, the length of the rectangular portrait is 3 ft.
