Answer:

m=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lines are parallel to each other, their gradients are equal.

∴ gradient of green line = gradient of red line

∴ m = -3

Solution: slope=-3

Detailed explanation:

This little problem asks us to find the slope of the line. Let's do this!

$\searrow$

This is what parallel lines look like:

<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

The two lines above will never intercept each other.

And that's what parallel lines are - they are lines that never intercept.

They can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, it doesn't matter. As long as both of them have the same slope and never intercept each other.

So, since parallel lines have identical slopes, the slope of the red line = slope of the green line (the problem provides us that both lines are parallel)

Slope of the red line = -3

Voila! There's our answer!

Which is a true statement?

julsineya [31]

B. –4.37 < –1.63 is the true statement. -4.37 is less than -1.63

A. –4.28 > –3.56 * should be less than
C. 5.7 < 5.63 * should be greater than
D. -13.90 > 4.63 *should be less than

In dealing with negative numbers, the greater the negative number is, the lesser its value. 4.37 is a greater number than 1.63 in its positive form, however, its negative form give 4.37 a lesser value than 1.63 in its negative form.

STALIN [3.7K]

X - 2 > -3 x > -3 + 2 x > -1 A number line with an open circle -1, closed circle on 4 and shading in between.,when dividing/multiplying by a negative, the inequality sign changes. An open circle is used when there is no equal sign involved. A closed circle is used when there is an equal sign involved. If it is greater then, shading goes to the right. If it is less then, shading goes to the left
