-(2x-5y+1)

To simplify multiply to each term -1.

-1(2x) = -2x

-1(-5y)= 5y

-1(1)=-1

So it will be -2x+5y-1

Hey there!!

Given equation :

- ( 2x - 5y + 1 )

Let's write this equation as :

-1 ( 2x - 5y + 1 )

Now, we use the distributive property.

Distribute -1 with 2x , -5y and 1

The final equation would be ( - 2x + 5y - 1 )

Hope my answer helps!

What is the slope of (-2,-2) and (-4,1)

FinnZ [79.3K]

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-2, -2) and (-4, 1). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{1-(-2)}{-4-(-2)}=\dfrac{1+2}{-4+2}=\dfrac{3}{-2}=-\dfrac{3}{2}$

<h3>Answer: slope = $-\dfrac{3}{2}$ </h3>

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If GH║FE, then ∆DEF ~ ∆DHG.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides have the same ratios.

The ratios of corresponding sides are ...

DG/DF = DH/DE

DG/(DG + GF) = 18/(18+36)

(1/2GF)/((1/2GF +GF) = 1/3

(1/2)/(3/2) = 1/3

1/3 = 1/3

Corresponding sides are proportional. Angle D is congruent to itself, so ∆DEF ~ ∆DHG by the SAS similarity postulate. Angles DGH and DFE are therefore congruent and GH║FE.
