Answer:

x > -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 (x − 1) < 3/5 (x + 1)

Multiply both sides by 5:

2 (x − 1) < 3 (x + 1)

Distribute:

2x − 2 < 3x + 3

Subtract 2x and 3 from both sides:

-5 < x

Therefore, x > -5.

10. 2x + 7y = 1<br> 2x - 4y = 12<br> Solve for y
adoni [48]

Answer:

The solution for y = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2x\ +\ 7y\ =\ 1    ....(1)

2x\ -\ 4y\ =\ 12  ....(2)

So, to solve for y, first we solve for x in equation (2):

2x-4y=12

⇒2x=12+4y

Dividing both sides by 2,

⇒x=6+2y            

Now, substituting the value of x  in equation (1):

2x+7y=1

⇒2(6+2y)+7y=1

⇒12+4y+7y=1

⇒12+11y=1

⇒11y=1-12

⇒11y=-11

Dividing both sides by 11,

⇒y=-1

Therefore, the solution for y = -1.

The slope for 5 and 2
Yuri [45]

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨

As we know, slope (m) is equal to tan θ for a straight line :

\qquad \tt\dashrightarrow \: m = \tan( \theta)

\qquad \tt\dashrightarrow \: m =  \dfrac{5}{2}

So, we can say that it's a positive constant slope
