Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5y+2x=12

Solve for y

Subtract 2x

5y = -2x+12

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -2/5 x +12/5

y = -2/5x +12/5

The slope is -2/5

Parallel lines have the same slope

Answer:

-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of two parallel lines will be the same.

Here, our equation is 5y + 2x = 12. Let's find the slope by isolating y:

5y + 2x = 12

5y = -2x + 12

y = (-2/5)x + 12/5

So, the slope is -2/5.

Thus, the slope of the line parallel to the given one will be -2/5.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, it's reasonable.

What you are doing is solving the question by rounding. You come up with an answer. Suppose you loose the decimal somewhere and you get 0.36? Is that reasonable? Do you just write the answer in the provided blank and move on. What now?

You get it wrong?!!

But your estimate should be about 9/3 = 3. Now you look at your calculator with great misgivings, because it made a mistake. Did it or did you? Well ultimately you did, but you have to blame something. So the calculator takes the heat.

Who  knows? Maybe the decimal doesn't work. It's stuck or something. In any event you should be aware that there's no way the answer could be 0.36 when you estimate it to be 3.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points ( −3 , 4 ) and ( 4, −1 )?
ziro4ka [17]
Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-1 - 4)/(4 - (-3)) = -5/(4 + 3) = -5/7

What is the value of x in the equation-2/9 x =2/5?
erik [133]

Answer: x = 9/5  or x = 1 4/5


Step-by-step explanation:

2/9 x = 2/5

2/9 * 9/2 * x = 2/5 * 9/2

x = 2/5 * 9/2

x = 9/5 = 1 4/5
