The slope of XY is the same as the slope of AB because XY is parallel to AB. Parallel lines have the same slope.
Answer:
A) -2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that for a slope, the slope of the line is found by using the equation:
slope = (rise/run).
In this case, find two points. For example, i will use:
(0, 2) & (5, 0). (x = 0, y = 2) ; (x = 5, y = 0)
Note that "rise" = y, and "run" = x. Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding points.
(2 - 0)/(0 - 5) = slope
Simplify
(2)/(-5) = slope
-(2/5) is your answer.
Note that it does not matter where the negative sign is placed.

The answer is 35 i think but i am not sure
7x³ = 28x is our equation. We want its solutions.
When you have x and different powers, set the whole thing equal to zero.
7x³ = 28x
7x³ - 28x = 0
Now notice there's a common x in both terms. Let's factor it out.
x (7x² - 28) = 0
As 7 is a factor of 7 and 28, it too can be factored out.
x (7) (x² - 4) = 0
We can further factor x² - 4. We want a pair of numbers that multiply to 4 and whose sum is zero. The pairs are 1 and 4, 2 and 2. If we add 2 and -2 we get zero.
x (7) (x - 2) (x + 2) = 0
Now we use the Zero Product Property - if some product multiplies to zero, so do its pieces.
x = 0 -----> so x = 0
7 = 0 -----> no solution
x - 2 = 0 ----> so x = 2 after adding 2 to both sides
x + 2 = 0 ---> so = x - 2 after subtracting 2 to both sides
Thus the solutions are x = 0, x = 2, x = -2.
