Answer:

The multiplicative inverse is -5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplicative inverse means we want to end up with 1

-3/5 * what =1

Multiply by 5 to clear the fraction

-3/5 * what *5 = 1*5

-3 * what = 5

Divide by -3 to isolate what

-3*what /-3 = 5/-3

what = -5/3

The multiplicative inverse is -5/3

Which of the following is an equation of the line that crosses through (-3,4) and (3,6)?

Mama L [17]

Answer:

y=(1/3)x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept: y=mx+b

m=((y2-y1)/(x2-x1)) = (6-4)/(3+3)= 2/6= (1/3)

y=(1/3)x+b

plug in one of the points (3,6)

6=(1/3)(3)+b

6=1+b 5=b

Write an equation of a line parallel to y=1/2x+3 that passes through (2,5)

tamaranim1 [39]

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+3 \parallel y=mx+b$

Two lines are parallel when their slopes are the same.
$m=\frac{1}{2} \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x+b \\ \\ (2,5) \\ x=2 \\ y=5 \\ \Downarrow \\
5=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 + b \\ 5=1+b \\ b=4 \\ \\ \boxed{y=\frac{1}{2}x+4}
