-y is the vertical line and -x is the horizontal line. The only reason they would say -y 3 is to let you know that is the vertical... so you don’t mess up and mark 3 on the -x (horizontal) line
Answer:
b.) 2
Explanation:
Parallel slopes have same slope.
Perpendicular slopes have negatively inverse slope.

Comparing it with slope intercept form, "y = mx + b" where m is slope.
Here parallel slope: -1/2
Perpendicular slope: -(-1/2)⁻¹ = 2
Answer:
13 pints.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 US liquid quart = 2 US liquid pint
6.5 quarts = how many pints?
Cross multiplying gives:
× 2 pints = 13 pints
Hope you can understand the handwriting :)
You need to solve for x (get x by itself)
x - 18 = -5 Add 18 on both sides
x - 18 + 18 = -5 + 18
x = 13
