Determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, neither or the same line: 3x + 2y = 1 and y = -x - 1.

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

When you rearrange the equation 3x+2y=1 in the form of y=mx+c

you get:

2y=-3x+1

y=-\frac{3}{2} x+0.5

And if you compare it with the equation y= -x -1

You can see that the gradient is not the same, so it means it is not parallel.

To get if it is perpendicular you need to see if the two gradients multiply to give the value -1 but when you multiply

-\frac{3}{2}×-1= 3/2 so it is not perpendicular as well

I hope it is right, feel free to point out anything wrong or you're unsure of :)

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines equals - 1

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

3x + 2y = 1 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2y = - 3x + 1 ( divide each term by 2 )

y = - \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{1}{2} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{3}{2}

y = - x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 1

Since the slopes are not equal then the lines are not parallel

- \frac{3}{2} × - 1 = \frac{3}{2} ≠ - 1

Then the lines are not perpendicular

A line passes through (5,-2) with a slope of 1/4. Write the equation in slope-intercept<br> form.
trapecia [35]

Answer: y = \frac{1}{4}x - 3 \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

    Slope-intercept form is in the form of y=<em>m</em>x + <em>b</em> where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

    We are given the slope, so we will plug this in.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

y = (\frac{1}{4})x + <em>b</em>

<em />

    Now, we will solve for the y-intercept by plugging in the point they give us.

y = (\frac{1}{4})x + <em>b</em>

(-2) = (\frac{1}{4})(5) + <em>b</em>

-2 = 1.25 + <em>b</em>

-3 \frac{1}{4} = <em>b</em>

<em />

    Lastly, we will plug this variable into the equation we wrote above for our final answer.

y = \frac{1}{4}x - 3 \frac{1}{4}

Does the point (9.5, 144) make sense in this context? Explain
Stolb23 [73]
No, (9.5, 144) does not make sense because there is no point of 9.5 and when you divide the ounces of water by the flavoring packets you end up with 12, and if you were to simplify that it would end up with 1 flavor packet and 12 ounces of water.
