The 2 lines are parallel, so the 2 sides(e.g. 1 and 2/ 3 and 49) add up = 180 and In this case the 2 sides are equal as u can see from the original diagram so the angle of 2 is 180-49=131.
Answer:
-5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are lines which have the exact same slope but different y-intercepts. We can find the slope by converting to slope-intercept form, y=mx+b from standard form.
We convert by using inverse operations to isolate y.
5x+3y=7
5x-5x+3y=7-5x
0x+3y=-5x+7
3y=-5x+7
.
The slope is -5/3. SInce parallel lines have the same slope, the slope for a parallel line will be -5/3.
