Answer:

The slope is -2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

9y + 2x = 54

Solve for y to get the equation in the form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 2x from each side

9y + 2x -2x = -2x+54

9y = -2x+54

Divide by 9

9y/9 = -2x/9 + 54/9

y = -2/9 x +6

The slope is -2/9

Parallel lines have the same slope

Romashka [77]

Answer:

3 11/20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Monday = seven -quarters of a mile

= 7/4 miles

Tuesday = nine-fifths of a mile

= 9/5 miles

How many miles did she ride altogether?

Total miles she rode altogether = Monday + Tuesday

= 7/4 + 9/5

= (35+36)/20

= 71/20

= 3 11/20

Total miles she rode altogether = 3 11/20 miles
