Answer:
<h2>slope = -2</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
<em>y = mx + b</em>
<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>
<em />
We have the equation:
<em>y = -2x + 6</em>
therefore
<em>m = -2</em>
<em>b = 6</em>
if we look at the equation y = -2x - 1, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore,
has a slope of -2.
now, parallel lines have exactly equal slopes, therefore a parallel to that one above, will have also a slope of -2, so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2 and runs through -1, 7.

You need an answer to get x. like it needs to be
10x+44=100 or something in order to find x
1. Note that

2. Then the equation
can be rewritten

3. Solve it:

Answer: x=6
all you have to do is add up all the sides and your answer will be 21 cm
