Use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b to find the slope, m.

5x - 2y = 11  this equation is given in standard form 

-2y = 11 + 5x    add both sides by 5x and then divide all by -2

y = 5/2x - 11/2  

so the slope is 5/2.

hope this helped, God bless!

The slope of a line parallel to another line must have the same slope as the other line. So therefore, we just want to first find the slope of this line.

To do this, we can switch it to slope intercept form, which is y = mx + b.

-2y = -5x + 11

Notice that the y doesn't have a variable next to it in slope intercept form. This means you have to divide all the sides to -2 to cancel out that -2.

-2y = -5x + 11
/-2     /-2     /-2

y = 5/2x + 11/-2

Since in the equation, y = mx + b, the number in the position of m = the slope, we know that 5/2 is the slope.

So therefore, the slope of a line parallel to the line with equation 5x - 2y = 11 must be 5/2.

Explain how to use absolute value to find the distance between (-2,-2) and (-2,5)
dem82 [27]
The absolute value of a number is its distance away from zero. Depending on how far away a number is, it has a less or greater absolute value. (-2,-2) have the same absolute value while (-2,5) have a different absolute value. Which has a greater absolute value? -25 or 6? The answer: -25, it is farther away from zero.

-3=12y-5(2y-7). Solve for y
Yuliya22 [10]
1. distribute the parentheses.
-3=12y-10y+35

2. Move the constants to the other side
-3-35=12y-10y

3. Subtract the terms
-38=2y

4. Divide by 2 to get y by itself
y=-19

Answer:

8.4 * 10^6

Step-by-step explanation:

8.4 * 10^6

1 million = 1 * 10^6

8 million 4 hundred thousand is 8.4 * 10^4 because this number is 8.4 times bigger than a million.

I need to know how to solve this
ahrayia [7]
Answer:

To find angle y you subtract the two angles form 180 degrees because it is a straight line. Then you subtract angle y and 72 from 180 because a triangle adds up to 180 degrees and you get angle x.

Hope this helps, ask if you have any more questions!
