(A) Bella's TV ratio of sides: 36"/27" = 1.333...
Lenny's: 52"/29.25" = 1.777...
Bella's and Lenny's TVs are NOT similar - their side ratios are different. Bella's is 4:3 while Lenny's is close to 16:9.
(B) Bella's TV has an exact ratio of 4:3 (36/27=4/3) and so is the older type.
Lenny's TV has a ratio of 52"/29.25". Divide both 52 and 29.25 by 3.25 to get 16/9, or 16:9. So Lenny's is the newer type.
6^2 is 36. / 3 makes 12. 12+6 is 18. final answer, most likely 18.
1) The y- axis is where x = 0, so the line "y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis when x = 0. You plug in "x = 0" into the equation, and get y = 0 -3, so y = -3. That means the line " y = -1/2x - 3" will cross the y-axis ar (0, -3)
2) If there are 2 parallel lines, then there is no solution, because the definition of parallel lines is, " 2 lines in the same plane, that never meet." That makes the solution inconsistent.
I dont know that either i am actually trying to figure that out now
