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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

If you started at W and went all the way around the circle until you wound up back at W, you will have gone 360 degrees. Since the angle measurement that prevents that is 85 degrees, the answer must be 360 - 85 = 275.
