Question

A rectangle is drawn on a coordinate grid. The equation for 1 side of the rectangle is 3x - 2y = 12. Which could be an equation for another side of the rectangle?
y = 3/2x + 5
y = 3x+12
y=-3/2x - 12
y = 2x - 5

Answer 1

The same thing!!!! ..... Are those really what they give you??

Answer 2

yep !

Answer 3

Hmm okay let me think.... What grade are you doing this in that would help alot..

Answer 4

9th

Answer 5

O okay..

Answer 6

So the answer is y=-3/2x - 12

Answer 7

Hope that that helped :)

Answer 8

I disagree with that.... look at the slopes.

Answer 9

One of the defining characteristics of a rectangle is that side a is parallel to side c, side b is parallel to side d, and the two sets of parallel lines are perpendicular to each other. The slope of the line given in the equation is 3/2. That means that the slope of any other side of the rectangle needs to be either parallel ( = 3/2) or perpendicular ( = -2/3). Only one of the answer choices given satisfies that criterion.
