Line m passes through the points (5, 1) and (8, 6) while line n passes through the points (-4, 3) and (-1, 8). Which statement a

ccurately describes the relationship between the two lines? A. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are perpendicular. B. Lines m and n have opposite reciprocal slopes so they are perpendicular. C. Lines m and n have opposite reciprocal slopes so they are parallel. D. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are parallel.

Find the equations of the lines...

First find the slope...(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

m=(6-1)/(8-5)=5/3 and it passes through (5,1) so

y=mx+b becomes:

y=5x/3+b and using (5,1)

1=5(5)/3+b

1=25/3+b

3/3-25/3=b

b=-22/3 so 

y1=(5x-22)/3

.... now y2...

m=(8-3)/(-1--4)=5/3 (note it has the same slope as y1...

y=5x/3+b and using the point (-1,8)

8=5(-1)/3+b

8=-5/3+b

24/3+5/3=b

b=29/3, now note that the y-intercept is different...

y2=(5x+29)/3

Since these lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel to each other. (and will never intersect.)

A store buys an item for $94. The store then prices the item to sell to customers. What is the selling price (in dollars) the st
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

$152.28

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the markup, multiply the original price by 62%

94 x 62% = 94 x .62 = 58.28

In order to determine the sale price, add the markup to the original price.

94 + 58.28 = $152.28

The following equation is being multiplied by the LCD. Complete the multiplication to eliminate the denominators
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

(x+2)(x-2) -1(3x)=(x-3)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2/3x - 1/x-2 = x-3/3x

\frac{x+2}{3x}-\frac{1}{x-2}=\frac{x-3}{3x}

LCD is (3x)(x-2). so we multiply the whole equation by LCD

(3x)(x-2)(\frac{x+2}{3x}-\frac{1}{x-2}=\frac{x-3}{3x})

We multiply each term by LCD

(3x)(x-2)(\frac{x+2}{3x})-(3x)(x-2)(\frac{1}{x-2})=(3x)(x-2)(\frac{x-3}{3x})

(x+2)(x-2) -1(3x)=(x-3)(x-2)
