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:

Trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are shown in the attached graph.

You can clearly see from the picture that it is a "Trapezoid".

Trapezoid is basically a quadrilateral (4 sided-figure) that has 1/2 pair of parallel sides.

On the other hand, a parallelogram has 2 pair of parallel sides.

Thus, a parallelogram is a special type of trapezoid where there are 2 pair of parallel sides. But trapezoid need not be a parallelogram.

The picture shows 1 pair of parallel sides, hence it is a trapezoid.

A lifeguard fills a pool with water at a constant rate. After 1/2 hour, 1/3 of the pool is filled.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: 2/3 of an hour.

Step-by-step explanation: The constant rate of the lifeguard filling the pool is 1/3 of the pool every 1/2 hour. If she fills it for an hour, she'll get 2/3 of the pool filled. Therefore, it'll take the lifeguard 1 hour to fill the pool 2/3 of the way.

Hope this helps! :)
