Hi there!
Since the slope of a lime that is parallel is always the same, the answer is a. -1.
Since the slope of this equation is -1, the slope of any other parallel line is the same (or else the lines would intersect and not new parallel anymore).
Hope this helps!
- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, with m = slope and (0,b) as the y-intercept.
So starting with the y-intercept, the easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form equation to slope-intercept form. Firstly, add 5x to both sides:

Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form is 
Looking at this slope-intercept form, <u>the y-intercept is (0, -5/2).</u>
Now to find the x-intercept, just set the y-variable to zero and solve:

<u>Our x-intercept is (-2,0).</u>
Answer:
The slope of the line passing through the given points (-2,-7) and (9,-7) is m=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the line passing through the points (-2,-7) and (9,-7)
To find the slope of the line passing through the points :

Let
and
be the given points (-2,-7) and (9,-7) respectively
Substitute the points in the formula 



Therefore m=0
Therefore Slope m is 0
Therefore the slope of the line passing through the given points (-2,-7) and (9,-7) is m=0
A snail travels at a rate of 2.58 feet PER MINUTE. After 9 minutes, it will travel 2.58 * 9 feet.
2.58 * 9 = 23.22 feet.
The snail travels 23.22 feet in 9 minutes.
You can see that it travels 2.58 feet per minute. In the next minute, it will travel another 2.58 feet. And so on until the 9th minute passes. This is the same as:
2.58 + 2.58 + 2.58 + 2.58 + 2.58 + 2.58 + 2.58 + 2.58 + <span>2.58 = 9 * 2.58 = 23.22</span>
Volume of cylinder is 402.1238....=402.12ft
Volume of rectangle is 1344ft
Add both together= 1746.12ft
Surface area of rectangle:
Length=14ft
width= 8ft
height =12ft
14x12=168x2=336
8x12=96x2=192
14x8=112x2=224
336+192+224=752
Surface Area of cylinder:
Radius= 4ft
height=8ft
2π r h+2π r^2
2π4(12)+2<span>π4^2
2</span>π48+2<span>π16
301.59+100.53=402.42ft
Add both surface area together=1154.12ft</span>
