Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=12

get into y=mx+b form first (m is the slope, b is the intercept)

So, 4y=12-3x

Then y=(12/4)-(3/4)*x

So your m is -3/4

Since you said it must be parallel the slope is the same to ensure they never touch

In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane, what is the distance, in coordinate units, between (-3, -2) and (5, 5)?

Sav [38]

Answer:

10.630

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt(x_{2} -x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} -y_{1})^{2}$

$\sqrt( 5-(-3)^{2} + (5- (-2)^{2}$

(5 - ( - 3)^2 = 64

(5 - ( -2)^2 = 49

49 + 64

113

$\sqrt113$

10.630
