A
given the 2 equations
2x + y = - 2 → (1)
x + y = 5 → (2)
subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate y
(2x - x ) + (y - y ) = (- 2 - 5 )
x + 0 = - 7 ⇒ x = - 7
substitute x = - 7 in either of the 2 equations and solve for y
(2) : - 7 + y = 5 ( add 7 to both sides )
y = 5 + 7 = 12 → A
Hi there! The answer is (1/2)
I suppose you mean the slope of a line that is parallel to y = (1/2)x + 3.
This equation is written in slope-intercept form, which means that the number in front of x represents the slope of the line. The other number represents the y-intercept.
A line that is parallel to another line, will be a line with the same slope. Since the slope of y = (1/2)x + 3 is (1/2), the slope of a line parallel to this line is (1/2) as well.
~ Hope this helps you!
1/2 / 4/5 = 1/2 *5/4 = 5/8
answer is 5/8 in.
