Prove that lines 3x-4y=12 and 3y=12-4x are perpendicular.

Mathematics

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

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

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Consider the given equations

3x - 4y = 12 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 4y = - 3x + 12 ( divide terms by - 4 )

y = \frac{3}{4} x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{3}{4}

3y = 12 - 4x = - 4x + 12 ( divide terms by 3 )

y = - \frac{4}{3} x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{4}{3}

Then

\frac{3}{4} × - \frac{4}{3} = - 1

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

The sum of the first and third of three consecutive even integers is 136. find the three even integers.
tatyana61 [14]
Based on your problem, you only have one given. So, you can't make an equation for this because there are not limits to the equation. The only thing that you know is that the three numbers are consecutive even integers. My way of solution for this is trial-and-error. However, it's really quite easy. 

For example: 42 + 46 = 88. I have to increase the numbers more to reach 136. Suppose: 82 + 86 = 168. That exceeded 136. So, it must be between 46 and 82. Suppose again: 66 + 70 = 136. Therefore, the sequence of the consecutive even integers are 66, 68, and 70.

What is the Greatest common divisor of 378 and 420?
atroni [7]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating the greatest common divisor, you must look for the smallest divisors that can divide the no. s given simultaneously.

So in this case the smallest divisor will be 2.

<u>37</u><u>8</u> =189. <u>420</u> =210

2. 2

The next divisor that 189 and 210 can both be divided with is 3

<u>189</u> =63. <u>210</u> =70

3. 3

The third smallest divisor that can 63 and 70 can be divided with is 7

<u>63</u> =9. <u>70</u> =10

7. 7

9 and 10 have no common divisors that can divide them fully without leaving a remainder

So to get the greatest common divisor, multiply all the divisors you have used

In this case we've used 2,3,7

2x3x7= 42
