Answer:
the first term is a1
the distance between the numbers is d
we have:
a5 = a1 + 4d = 23
a12 = a1 + 11d = 72
so we have the equation:
a1 + 4d = 23
a1 + 11d = 72
=> a1 = -5
d = 7
=> an = -5 + 7(n - 1) = 7n - 12
with an = 7n - 12
=> a2 = 2
a3 = 9
so the first three terms is -5; 2; 9
Write the equation of the lines in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
First equation: It is already in slope-intercept form

Second equation: solve y:

Identify the slope of each line:
If two or more lines have the same slope then the lines are parallel
If two lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals then the lines are perpendicular
The two given lines have the same slope: 2/5. Then, they are parallel lines
Answer:
2/4 is equal to 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 is equal to 2/4 because 1/2 x 2 for each the numerator and the denominator.
8h/3+19
Move all terms to the left
8-(h/3+19)=0
Get rid of parentheses
-h/3-19+8=0
Multiply all terms by denominator
-h-19*3+8*3=0
Add all numbers and variables together
-1h-33=0
Move all terms containing h to the left all other terms to the right
-h=33
h=33/-1
h=-33
Assuming your first equation is y = 5x+9, the equations describe lines that are coincident.
_____
Multiplying the second equation by -1, it becomes y = 5x+9, the same as the first equation.
