Lois is correct. This is because multiplication is repeated addition. It means that when your addends are just the same number but added several times, the sum is just equivalent to the product of that number times the number of times it was added. For example, 4+4+4 = 4×3 = 12.
See below for solution. Hope this is helpful
Answer:
y=20
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you can plug the first 2 coordinates into the slope equation (
) you will get 4 for the slope so for the equation for the parallel line you would get y=4x+4 and since the x=4 you could plug that in and you would get y=20 and x=4
Parallel: the lines have = slopes. We thus need 5/6 to equal 2/p. then 5p must equal 12, and p = 12/5. (answer)
Check: Is 5/6 = 2 / (12/5)? YES
Perp.: The lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another.
Then -6/5 = 2/p, or
-6 2
---- = ----
5 p Thus, -6p = 10, and p = -5/3 (answer)
