First, let's convert each line to slope-intercept form to better see the slopes.
Isolate the y variable for each equation.
2x + 6y = -12
Subtract 2x from both sides.
6y = -12 - 2x
Divide both sides by 6.
y = -2 - 1/3x
Rearrange.
y = -1/3x - 2
Line b:
2y = 3x - 10
Divide both sides by 2.
y = 1.5x - 5
Line c:
3x - 2y = -4
Add 2y to both sides.
3x = -4 + 2y
Add 4 to both sides.
2y = 3x + 4
Divide both sides by 2.
y = 1.5x + 2
Now, let's compare our new equations:
Line a: y = -1/3x - 2
Line b: y = 1.5x - 5
Line c: y = 1.5x + 2
Now, the rule for parallel and perpendicular lines is as follows:
For two lines to be parallel, they must have equal slopes.
For two lines to be perpendicular, one must have the negative reciprocal of the other.
In this case, line b and c are parallel, and they have the same slope, but different y-intercepts.
However, none of the lines are perpendicular, as -1/3x is not the negative reciprocal of 1.5x, or 3/2x.
<h3><u>B and C are parallel, no perpendicular lines.</u></h3>
<span>There are 4 EQUAL pieces.
To build 1 whole you must add together 4 pieces or compose the fraction with all four pieces 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 4/4 or 1 whole.</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 * 4 = 16 outcomes from spinning these spinners. You get an odd number by multiplying an odd number by an odd number. Since there are 2 odd numbers on both spinners the successful outcomes are 2 * 2 = 4 so probability is 4 / 16 = 1 / 4.
Answer:
1. x = 30
2. x = 39
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
4x and ( 3x + 30 ) are alternate exterior angles,
Alternate exterior angles are equal.
4x = 3x + 30
4x - 3x = 30
x = 30
2.
x and ( 3x + 24 ) are co - interior angles.
Sum of co - interior angles is 180,
x + 3x + 24 = 180
4x + 24 = 180
4x = 180 - 24
4x = 156
x = 156 / 4
x = 39
