0.5x - 5y = 9

<u>Make y the subject:</u>

5y = 0.5x - 9

y = 0.1x - 1.8

Match equation with y = mx + b

m = slope = 0.1

Parallel Slope = 0.1

Answer: The slope of the parallel line is 0.1

The slopes of parallel line are the same.

We have: 0.5x - 5y = 9

Let's transform to slope-intercept form y = mx + b

0.5x - 5y = 9 |-0.5x

-5y = -0.5x + 9 |:(-5)

y = 0.1x - 1.8

Your answer is m = 0.1

Which expression gives the solutions -5x+2x^2=-6x?(1pt)

irina [24]

This is the concept of algebra, the solution of the given expression will be given as follows;
-5x+2x²=-6x
adding 5x on both sides we get
5x-5x+2x²=-6x+5x
2x²=-x
divide both sides by 2
(2x²)/2=-x/2
x²=-x/2
divide both sides by x
(x²)/x=-x/(2x)
x=-1/2
the answer is x=-1/2

Y=3/4 x-4

Answer:

see graph of y=3/4 x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you mean

$y = \frac34x - 4$

Below is a graph of that one. The slope is 3/4 and the interception with the y axis is at y=-4. The equation is in its normal form y=ax+b with a=3/4 (slope) and b=-4 (y intercept), so no conversion needed.

You have to be careful on how you write these equations down. It might very well be that you meant:

$y = \frac{3}{4x-4}$ or $y = \frac{3}{4x} - 4$
