CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!?? IT WOULD BE A BIG FAVOR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Line IJ has an equation of a line y=-3x-8. Which of the following could be an equation for a line that is parallel to line IJ? A. y=3x+7 B. Y=1/3x+7 C. Y=-3x+7 D. Y=-1/3x+7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

srry i suck at linear algebra

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pooja195 @Vocaloid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks anyway

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

parallel means that the slope is the same y = mx + b, where m is the slope if y=-3x-8, what is m?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't M be -3?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yup, now look at the answer choices and find another equation where m = -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so it's C?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

excellent work, you got it ~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!! Do you think you can help me with another one?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

sure

Find the perimeter of the shape below:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17.6 21.4 26.7 32.9

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

are you familiar with the pythagorean theorem?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 does this equation look familiar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, not really but I know that perimeter you have to add all sides up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A little bit.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

alright, so in order to find the length of each side, we'll use that equation let me draw the graph out to make this a bit easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

alright, let's start off by finding the length of AB the pythagorean theorem tells us that AB^2 = 1^2+4^2, so what is AB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be 17?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite AB^2 = 17, right? so what is AB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha I typed that in on my calculator and got 17

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

AB^2 = 17 so AB = square root of AB^2 = square root of 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not really sure.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

AB = square root of 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.123105626??

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right, we'll round to 4.1 for now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is C due to the fact they have the same slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

C was the answer for the first question BUT we're working on another question right now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I thought but how do u get C in trying to learn

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

C was the answer for the FIRST question, we're working on a DIFFERENT question right now...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so we round up to 4.1 then what?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

anyway, back to the question, we found AB, right? now we need to find BC
