Answer:

x = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate m using the slope formula and equate, since parallel lines have equal slopes.

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, - 13)

m = \frac{-13-5}{x+4} = \frac{-18}{x+4} and equating

\frac{-18}{x+4} = \frac{9}{2} ( cross- multiply )

9(x + 4) = - 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x + 4 = - 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 8

Round to the nearest hundredth 42.052

42.052

place value and digits:

4 = tens
2 = ones
0 = tenths
5 = hundredths
2 = thousandths

5 is in the hundredths place. To find if you round up or down, look at the digit to the right (thousandths in this case). It is a 2, which is less than 5, so you round down.

42.052 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 42.05

hope this helps
