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.)

Katena32 [7]
<span>1.
"The spending limit on John’s credit card is given by the function f(x)=15,000+1.5x"

means that if the monthly income of John is $ 5,000 ,he can spend at most 

f(5,000)=15,000+1.5*5,000=15,000+ 7,500=22, 500 (dollars)

Or for example

if Johns monthly income is $8,000, then he can spend at most

 </span>f(8,000)=15,000+1.5*8,000=15,000+ 12,000=27,000 (dollars)<span>


2.
Now, assume that the maximum amount that John can spend is y.

Then, y=15,000+1.5x

we can express x, the monthly income, in terms of y by isolating x:

</span>y=15,000+1.5x
<span>
1.5x = y-15,000


</span>x= \frac{y-15,000}{1.5}
<span>
thus, in functional notation, x, the monthly income, is a function , say g, of variable y, the max amount:

</span>x=g(y)=\frac{y-15,000}{1.5}

since we generally use the letter x for the variable of a function, we write g again as:

g(x)=\frac{x-15,000}{1.5}
<span>
for example :

</span>g(50,000)=\frac{50,000-15,000}{1.5}= \frac{35,000}{1.5}= 23,333
<span>
tells us that if the maximum amount that John can spend is 50,000 $, then his monthly income is 23,333 $.

3.

If John's limit is $60,000, his monthly income is 

</span>g(60,000)=\frac{60,000-15,000}{1.5}= \frac{45,000}{1.5}=30,000<span>
 dollars.


Answer: $ 30,000

Remark: g is called the inverse function of f, since it undoes what f does.

instead of g(x), we could use the notation </span>f ^{-1}(x)<span>

How do u do this problem: W/6+5/8=-1 3/8 <br> I got this answer: -1 53/64
Kobotan [32]
We have question
\frac{W}{6}+ \frac{5}{8} =-1 \frac{3}{8}    
\frac{W}{6} + \frac{5}{8} =- \frac{11}{8}  <span> /*8      (multiply both sides by 8)</span>
\frac{W8}{6} + \frac{5}{1} =- \frac{11}{1}  /*6      (multiply both sides by 6)
8W+5*6=-11*6      /-30 both sides
8W=-66-30
8W=-96
W=-12
