Hi there! The answer is (1/2)
I suppose you mean the slope of a line that is parallel to y = (1/2)x + 3.
This equation is written in slope-intercept form, which means that the number in front of x represents the slope of the line. The other number represents the y-intercept.
A line that is parallel to another line, will be a line with the same slope. Since the slope of y = (1/2)x + 3 is (1/2), the slope of a line parallel to this line is (1/2) as well.
~ Hope this helps you!
Answer:
A multiplicative inverse is a reciprocal. ... A reciprocal is one of a pair of numbers that when multiplied with another number equals the number 1. For example, if we have the number 7, the multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal, would be 1/7 because when you multiply 7 and 1/7 together, you get 1!
I'm thinking maybe x is supposed to represent the number of tasks completed because it states Shelly earned 90 points on each task. Then when put together it may look like this, let's say there are 4 tasks= Ex.90 times the 4 tasks minus 20 points which would total the points Terrence's has earned. So i believe x is the total tasks. Hope I didn't make it confusing...
