Answer:

The slope of this line is undefined.

Explanation:

The slope of a line is rise over run, where the rise is the change in y value and the run is the change in x. Since there is no change in x when a line is parallel to the y-axis, any slope would mean you would divide by 0.

$m=\frac{rise}{run}\\m = \frac{rise}{0} \\m= \frac{anything}{0}\\$

Since you cannot divide by 0 the answer will always be undefined no matter what the numerator is. The slope of any vertical line will be undefined.

Determine whether each expression is equivalent to

larisa [96]

The algebraic expressions, $x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$ and $5x + 3$ are equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

To determine whether each expression is equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$ , apply the knowledge of algebra to solve each of the following in it's simplest form.

First, simplify $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$ as follows:

Add like terms

$2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y\\2x + 3x + 4y - 4y - 5 + 8\\5x + 3$

Next, compare or simplify where necessary each of the given algebraic expressions with $5x + 3$

First Option

$x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$

Add like terms together

$2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y\\2x + 3x + 4y - 4y -5+8\\5x + 3$

Therefore, $x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$ is equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Check the box for YES.

Second Option:

$6xy + 3 - 4y$ (cannot be simplified further)

$6xy + 3 - 4y\neq 2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Therefore:

Leave the box BLANK for NO.

Third Option:

$-8y + 5x - 3$ (cannot be simplified further)

$-8y + 5x - 3 \neq 2x + 4y -5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Therefore:

Leave the box BLANK for NO.

Fourth Option:

$5x + 3$

$5x + 3 = 2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$

Therefore:

Check the box for YES.

Thus, the algebraic expressions that are equivalent to $2x + 4y - 5 + 3x + 8 - 4y$ are:

$x + x + y + y + y + y - 5 + x + x + x + 8 - 4y$

$5x + 3$

Simplify and determine the coefficient of (-2/5x) (5y) (-2x)

slamgirl [31]

The answer is 4 x^2y. I cannot explain to you how I know I'm right. I'm the type of person who HAS to do the work in their head . I am a very experienced person in any Mathematics area. I am NOT saying I'm an expert , but it is one of my strongest subjects .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 1

The quotient (f/g)(x) is (f/g)(x) = ---------------

x^2 - 5

Note that x^2 means "square of x," whereas "x2" is ambiguous.
