Two basketballs are thrown along different paths. Determine if the basketballs’ paths are parallel to each other, perpendicular or neither. Explain your reasoning.

o The first basketball is along the path 3x + 4y = 12
o The second basketball is along the path -6x – 8y = 24

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent. Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.

So, let's find the slope of each equation.

The first basketball is modeled by:

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3x from both sides:

And divide both sides by four:

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.

The second basketball is modeled by:

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6x to both sides:

And divide both sides by negative eight:

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

You need to multiply 188 by 25%. But first convert 25% to a decimal 0.25.
188*0.25 is 47
Now we subtract 188 - 47
Which is 141
