Answer: -4 (m + 6) = -8
We can use the distributive property for the first half of the equation.
-4 × m = -4m
-4 × 6 = -24
-4m - 24 = -8
Now we add 24 on bothe side sof the equation to get -4m by itself.
-4m - 24 + 24 = -8 + 24
Now we get -4m = 16
Divide -4 on both sides to get m by itself
-4m/-4 = 16/-4
Simplify and we get m = -4
Hi there! The answer is (1/2)
I suppose you mean the slope of a line that is parallel to y = (1/2)x + 3.
This equation is written in slope-intercept form, which means that the number in front of x represents the slope of the line. The other number represents the y-intercept.
A line that is parallel to another line, will be a line with the same slope. Since the slope of y = (1/2)x + 3 is (1/2), the slope of a line parallel to this line is (1/2) as well.
~ Hope this helps you!
