If I am not mistaken, the slope would be -14.

What is -9x-(2x/-3) When x equals 7

yuradex [85]

$-9x- \frac{2x}{-3}$

$-9*(7) - \frac{2*7}{-3}$

$9*7 = 63$

$\frac{2*7}{-3} = \frac{14}{-3}$

Apply the fraction rule : $\frac{a}{-b} = - \frac{a}{b}$

$= - \frac{14}{3}$

$-63-( -\frac{14}{3} )$

Apply rule - ( - a) = a

$-63+ \frac{14}{3}$

Convert element to fraction :

$63 = \frac{63}{1}$

$-\frac{63}{1} + \frac{14}{3}$

Find the LCD 1*3 = 3

$- \frac{63*3}{3}+ \frac{14}{3}$

$\frac{-3+63+14}{3} = \frac{-175}{3}$

<span>Apply the fraction rule : $\frac{a}{-b} = - \frac{a}{b}$ </span>

$= - \frac{175}{3}$

hope this helps!

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other so
4x - 7 = x + 2 and
5y - 8 = 3y

4x - 7 = x + 2 so 3x = 9 and x = 3

5y - 8 = 3y so 2y = 8 and y = 4

Find the slope of the line.

Bess [88]

The slope is 1/3 because slope is rise over run so you go up one unit and go right three units.
