Are 5x plus 3y equals 3 and -12x plus 20y equals 0 parallel or perpendicular?

Work it out. 5x+3y=3 3y=-5x+3 y=-5/3x+1 -5/3=the slope in this equation -12x+20y=0 20y=12x y=12/20x y=3/5x 3/5=the slope in this equation If the slopes equal each other, the lines are parallel. If they are the negative reciprocal (the fraction flipped upside down and multiplied by -1) of each other, they are perpendicular. I can't believe I just helped someone this lazy.

How do you solve for -7 less than or equal to x 5 over -3?

If I am understanding the problem, "x" is a variable and not multiplication. If this is the problem: -7 <= 5x - 3, then the solution would be as follows: add 3 to both sides of inequlity -7 + 3 <= 5x - 3 + 3 -4 <= 5x divide both sides by 5 -4/5 <= 5x/5 -4/5 <= x or x >= -4/5 or x >= -0.8
