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

$\frac{3y}{3} =\frac{-5x+7}{3} \\y=\frac{-5}{3}x+\frac{7}{3}$ .

The slope is -5/3. SInce parallel lines have the same slope, the slope for a parallel line will be -5/3.

How to find max height projectile motion?

shutvik [7]

The maximum height is yo = 0
When the projectile is at its maximum height vy = 0.
Note that the maximum height is determined solely by the initial velocity in the y direction and the acceleration due to gravity. :)

A restaurant offers 77 possible appetizers, 1515 possible main courses, and 99 possible desserts. how many different meals are

JulsSmile [24]

First you need to multiply all the numbers to get 11548845 and then for example you need to do this (77*1515)+(77*99)+(99*1515) = 274263 to get and then you need you need to add 77,1515,99 to get 1691 and then you add 11548845, 274263, and 1691 to get 11824799 and that is the total number of possible outcomes of meals that you can get.
 hope this helps you and the the reason I explained is so you dont have to ask this type of question again.

Mark has already run 33.4 miles this week. He can run 2.5 miles in one hour. Construct an equation that represents the total num

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

y = 2.5x + 33.4, y = 75.9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation is y = 2.5x + 33.4

17 = 2.5 x + 33.4

y = 2.5 (17) + 33.4

y = 42.5 + 33.4

y = 75.9 miles
