Answer:

A) parallel

It has the same slope.

y-intercept is 6.

So,

m = -5

b = + 6

y = -5x + 6

B) perpendicular

It has a negative reciprocal of the slope.

-5 = 1/5

y-intercept is 6

m = 1/5

b = + 6

y = 1/5x + 6

How to solve a equation like:<br> 2m = -2/3

adell [148]

Answer:

$m = -\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2m = -\frac{2}{3}$

Divide both sides by 2 to get just m

$\frac{2m}{2} = \frac{-\frac{2}{3}}{2}$

You can't divide a fraction by a number so you do kcf (keep it, change it, flip it)

$m = -\frac{2}{3} x \frac{2}{1}$

$m = -\frac{4}{3}$

Answer↑

Steps↓
Convert 2 1/2 to an improper fraction:
2 + 2+ 1 over 2

Once you add the numbers, that will be 5/2.

Now, multiply that with 1/7:
5/2 • 1/7

Your answer will be 5/14

Therefore, Rock A weighs 5/14 pounds
