Answer: y=(-1/4)x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following lines is parallel to the line y=(-1/4)x+5

Two lines are parallel to each other if they have the same slope,

Slope of line 1 = slope of line 2

Looking at y=(-1/4)x+5,

we will compare it with the slope-intercept equation, y= mx+c

Slope of y=(-1/4)x+5 = -1/4

Now let's examine the options to see the one such that has the same value with our slope , -1/4

1) y=4x+7

From this equation, slope = 4

4 × -1/4= -1

This means lines (-1/4)x+5 and y=4x+7 are not parallel to each other since their slopes are unequal

2)y=-4x-5, slope = -4

This means lines (-1/4)x+5 and y=4x-5 are not parallel to each other since their slopes are unequal.

3)y=(-1/4)x-3

slope = -1/4

This means lines (-1/4)x+5 and y= (-1/4)x-3 are parallel to each other since their slopes are equal. This means equations y=(-1/4)x-3 and y=(-1/4)x+5

are parallel.

In conclusion, line y=(-1/4)x-3 is parallel to y=(-1/4)x+5

Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the

k0ka [10]

Given the pair of simultaneous equation:
y=-2/5x-2
y=5x+1
To evaluate the solution of the system of equation from the graph, we obtain the point at which the two linear equations have intersected. taking the values of x and y from the point of intersection that will be the solution of the system of linear equations.
In our case the straight lines have intersected at the point (-0.5, -1.75). This implies that:
x=-0.5
y=-1.75
hence the answer is a] (-0.5, -1.75)

How to <br> Write <br> 3/9<br> in simplest form.

White raven [17]

To write it in simplest form, you must find a common factor.

In $\frac{3}{9}$ , 3 is a factor of both 3 and 9

3÷3=1 and 9÷3=3

So $\frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{3}$ is your answer in simplest form.

Which of the following statements is true?

madreJ [45]

Answer: choice 2) SAS

AB = DE is one pair of congruent sides that forms the first S in SAS. The other S in SAS refers to the pair of congruent sides BC = EF. The A in SAS is the angle pair angle B = angle E. Note how angle B and angle E are between the two pairs of congruent sides. The order of the letters matters because SAS is different from SSA, which is not a valid congruence argument. Check out the attached image.
