Hi student, let me help you out! :)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  . . . . . . . . .

We are asked to find the slope of the line that is parallel to the line \star~\mathrm{y=-\cfrac{2}{5}x+\cfrac{4}{5}}.

\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}

  • Parallel lines have the same slope.

So let's first determine the slope of the first line, and then let's find the slope of the line that's parallel to it.

\circ\!\!\!\star\mathcal{HINT:}

  • The slope is the coefficient of x.

So the slope is

\star~\mathrm{-\cfrac{2}{5}}.

Can you guess the slope of the line that is parallel to the first line?

That's right! The slope is...

\star~\mathrm{-\cfrac{2}{5}}

Hope it helps you out! :D

X x 2 divided by 4 equals
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

I think it's 2x/4 (1x/2 if simplified). if it's multiple choice that's what I'd go with and if that answer is wrong then sorry

Step-by-step explanation:

x•2 is 2x because you don't know the value x and you still have to divide by four. when simplified, 2/4 is 1/2 so it'd be 1x/2

Quadrilateral KLMN is a rectangle. The coordinates of L are L(1,-4), and the coordinates of Mare M(3,-2). Find the slopes of sid
lozanna [386]
L(1, -4)=(xL, yL)→xL=1, yL=-4
M(3, -2)=(xM, yM)→xM=3, yM=-2

Slope of side LM: m LM = (yM-yL) / (xM-xL)
m LM = ( -2 - (-4) ) / (3-1)
m LM = ( -2+4) / (2)
m LM = (2) / (2)
m LM = 1

The quadrilateral is the rectangle KLMN
The oposite sides are: LM with NK, and KL with NK
In a rectangle the opposite sides are parallel, and parallel lines have the same slope, then:
Slope of side LM = m LM = 1 = m NK = Slope of side NK
Slope of side NK = m NK = 1

Slope of side KL = m KL = m MN = Slope of side MN

The sides KL and LM (consecutive sides) are perpendicular (form an angle of 90°), then the product of their slopes is equal to -1:
(m KL) (m LM) = -1
Replacing m LM = 1
(m KL) (1) = -1
m KL = -1 = m MN

Answer:
Slope of side LM =1
Slope of side NK =1
Slope of side KL = -1
Slope of side MN = -1

The sales tax in Jorge's state is 7%. Jorge bought a Ford Mustang having a sales tax of $1,928.22. What was the cost of the car?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

The cost of the car is $27,546

<h3>How to calculate the cost of the car ?</h3>

The sales tax is 7%

Jorge bought a ford mustang having a sales tax of $1,928.22

Therefore the cost of the car can be calculated as follows

7/100 = 0.07

1928.22/0/07

= 27,546

Hence the cost of the car is $27,546

Course Activity: Relationships Betwee
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is in the form p/q where p and q are both integers and the denominator q is not equal to zero. This means that the set of all real numbers are rational numbers.

Since q can be any integer apart from zero, it means that all integers are rational numbers i.e for q = 1.

Hence 2 which can be written as fraction as 2/1 is a rational number since the denominator (q = 1) is a non zero number
