Choose the correct way to end the sentence. The line x-2y=4 and y=2x -2 are

A parallel
B neither
C perpendicular

 B) neither

Let's isolate y in the first equation. This way we can find the slope.

x-2y = 4

-2y = 4-x

-2y = -x+4

y = (-x+4)/(-2)

y = -x/(-2) + 4/(-2)

y = (1/2)x - 2

This matches with y = mx+b form with m = 1/2 being the slope.

The slope of y = 2x-2 is m = 2

The slope of the first line is 1/2 and the slope of the second line is 2.

Since the two slopes (1/2 and 2) are not equal, this means the lines are not parallel.

Also, the two slopes do not multiply to -1, so the lines aren't perpendicular either.

This leads to B) neither as the final answer.

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
