Y = 5x + 7 2x + y = -5 Are the equations parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Lines are neither perpendicular nor parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In equation 1, Y = 5X + 7

In equation 2, Y = -2X -5

Step 2:

Slope Intercept form Y =mX +c

Where m = Slope

Slope of line 1 = 5

Slope of line 2 = -2

m1 is not equal to m2. Hence it is not parallel.

m1 × m2 is not equal to -1. Hence they are not perpendicular.

Drake's yard measures 24 ft by 30 ft. His garden, which is part of the yard, measures 36 inches by 108 inches. What is the area

Westkost [7]

24 x 30 = 720 sq. ft

36 x 108= 3888 sq. inches

3888 inches divided by 12 inches= 324 ft.

720 ft - 324 ft. = 396 ft is the yard only without the garden

The width of a golden rectangle is 15 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle to the nearest foot.

topjm [15]

Answer:

79 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Golden rectangle side ratios 1 : (1+sqrt5 )/2

(approx 1: 1.618)

15 + 15 + 2*15*1.618 = ~79 ft

BUT perhaps the 15 is the 1.618 side

15/1.618 + 15/1.618 + 15 + 15 ~ 49 feet
