Answer:
- 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 3x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
y = - 3x + 4 ← is the equation of a parallel line

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The parallelogram DEFG
DE = 6x-12
FG = 2x+36
EF = 4y
DG = 6y-42
We know that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
As DE and FG are opposite sides, so
DE = FG
substituting DE = 6x-12 and FG = 2x+36 in the equation
6x-12 = 2x+36
6x-2x = 36+12
simplifying
4x = 48
dividing both sides by 4
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12
Therefore,
The value of x = 12
Also, EF and DG are opposite sides, so
EF = DG
substituting EF = 4y and DG = 6y-42 in the equation
4y = 6y-42
switching sides
6y-42 = 4y
6y-4y = 42
2y = 42
dividing both sides by 2
2y/2 = 42/2
y = 21
Therefore,
The value of y = 21
