Y = mx + c

7= (-5)(-2)+ c

7= 10 +c

7-10=c

-3=c

Equation of the line: y = -5x-3

Sub in (a, 2)

2= - 5(a)-3

2+3= -5a

5= - 5a

1= - a

A = -1

Is Y=5 and Y=-1 consider parallel perpendicular or neither show your work please and asap
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

  parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

The "work" is to recognize that both equations describe horizontal lines. All horizontal lines on the Cartesian coordinate grid are parallel.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

  y = constant . . . . . a horizontal line (y=0 is the x-axis)

  x = constant . . . . . a vertical line (x=0 is the y-axis)

__

If you wanted to go to the trouble, you could compare the equation ...

  y = constant

to the slope-intercept form ...

  y = mx +b

Your comparison would note that m=0. That is, the slope is zero, so the line is horizontal. All lines with the same (zero) slope are parallel.

Solve using substitution or elimination. Remember, you must check your work.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: (1/2, -1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination

                           10x - 15y = 10    (I)

                             4x + 6y = 0     (II)

Multiply (I) by 2 and (II) by -5

                          20x - 30y = 20

                         -20x - 30y = 0

                                                                Add both equations

                           0   - 60y = 20

                                       y = -20/60

                                      y = - 1/3

Substitute y in (II)

                          4x + 6(-1/3) = 0

                          4x - 2 = 0

                          4x =  2

                            x = 2/4

                           x = 1/2                      

                4(1/2) + 6(-1/3) = 0

                     4/2 - 6/3 = 0

                      2 - 2 = 0

                            0 = 0
