Step-by-step explanation: To make a line paralle to another, the slope has to be the same such as the "m" in "y=mx+b" the y-intercept or "b" could be different. In this case, the slope is -7. So the question mark should be -7.
X=3 and y=-5/2. Here is why, when we do 7x+5x that gives us 12x. -2y+2y=0 and then we have 16 plus 20 which gives us 36. Now we gotta isolate x which right now we have 12x=36. Therefore divide by 12 to get x alone, which 36 divided by 12 is equal to 3. X=3. Plug it back into the equation, 7(3)=21 plus 2y=16. Subtract 21 from both sides 16-21 is equal to -5. Then 2y=-5 divide by 2 on both sides you will have -5/2=y or y=-5/2. Hope this helps!
Answer: 2(13x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Fiona is correct- if a shape dilated by a fraction it’s always smaller, unless in the fraction the bigger number is on top. So if it’s more than 1 the shape gets bigger. And if it’s less than one it always gets smaller. Hope this didn’t confuse you even more.
