This is the steps for equation solving for the value of x,
x/3-7 = 11
now 7 goes to the other side of equation by changing the sign from - to +,
x/3 = 11 + 7
x/3 = 18
now when we multiply both sides of equation with 3 or 3 goes to the other side of equation and multiply with 18 leaving x alone here for finding the value of x,
and we get, x = 54
at the end of equation we get x = 54, if the equation was in the form 3x - 7 = 11, then we will get x = 6
Slope = (8 -2) / (1 + 5) =6/6 = 1
Parallel lines, slope is the same
So the slope of any line parallel to the line containing (-5,2) & (1,8) is also equal 1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A <u>helix</u> is a curve for which the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line. The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (see attached diagram for helix).
The parametrization for the helix is

where
is the radius of the helix,
is the constant, and
is the parameter
