Answer:
Answer Left Panel: 3/5 or B
Answer Right Panel: D
Explanation:
Left Panel
- 5x + 3y = 8 Subtract 5x from both sides
- 5x - 5x + 3y = - 5x + 8 Combine
- 3y = - 5x+ 8 Divide by 3
- 3y/3 = -5x/3 + 8/3
- y = - 5x/3 + 8/3 The slope of any line is the number with the x
- Slope of this line = -5/3
- The slope of two lines that are perpendicular when multiplied = - 1
- slope of the given line(m1) * slope of the perpendicular(m2) = - 1
- m1 * m2 = - 1
- -5/3 * m2 = - 1 Multiply by 3
- -5x/3 *3 = - 1 * 3
- -5x = - 3 Divide by -5
- -5x/-5 = -3 / 5
- x = 3/5
Right Panel
The slope of a line parallel to another line is the same as the given line.
- The given line is 3x - 5y = 10 Subtract 3x from both sides
- 3x - 3x - 5y = -3x + 10 Combine
- -5y = -3x + 10 Divide by - 5
- -5y/-5 = -3x/-5 + 10/-5 Do the division
- y = 3x/5 - 2 So look for a line with a slope of 3/5
- y= 3x /5 Answer D
