I believe the correct answer is D.
Answer:
1) 1/4
2) 1 1/2
3) 9/5
4) 4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
If they are parallel they will have the same slope , m
So in y = mx + c, if there are two equations which both have the same m value they will be parallel.
If the lines are perpendicular they'll have slopes like this: 1/2 to -2/1 - where they flip and a negative gets added.
In the equations: 10x + 5y = -5 , and y = -2x + 6
We can rearrange 10x + 5y = -5 to be in the form y = mx + c
10x + 5y = -5
5y = -5 - 10x
y = -1 - 2x
y = -2x - 1
Since y = -2x - 1 and y = -2x + 6 both have the same slope of -2 they are parallel!
Answer= 7
Explanation: combine all like numbers
5-b+4-2=0
5-2+4=7
7-b=0
Then you can tell the answer is 7 because that is the only thing that can replace b and equal 0
X*y=y/b........................
