Answer = -1/6

Well, if a line is parallel to another, they share the same slope. Why that is, I can further explain in the comments if you're interested. Anyway, because we know this line is parallel to 3x-5, it MUST have a slope of 3, since that is the slope of the other line. So you can go ahead and mark out those last 3 answers. You could also mark out the first one since it's the EXACT SAME line as the one were given, so it wouldn't be parallel, it would just be equal to it. So we know the answer has to be B. What if A wasn't the same as the line given though? in that case, we could look at the point you're given. it describes the y intercept of our unknown line, since the point occurs at x=0. If that doesn't make sense, let me know and I can elaborate on why that is. Anyway, if we're looking at the general form of a line, y = mx + b, b describes the y value at which the y-intercept occurs. the y intercept were given occurs at y= 7, so the b value of our line must be 7. This agrees with answer B.
Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any questions! :)
This line is in the format 
, where 
is the slope.
A horizontal line has a slope of 
.
A vertical line has an undefined slope.
A positive slope makes the line go upwards and to the right.
<em>A negative slope makes the line go downwards and to the right.</em>
Answer:
54.7
Step-by-step explanation:
16.7 + 11 + 11 + 8 + 8 = 54.7
Note
I don't know how you are wrong but I showed my work and I got the same answer which is weird.
Simple Proof:
a) In the image, we know that ABCD is a parallelogram and that means opposite angel measures should be the same. We know that angel DCB is made up by angel 1 and 2, and angel DAB and DCB are equal and angel DAB is made up by angel 1 and <em>x</em>. So now we can conclude that angel <em>x</em> is equal to angel 2.
b) According to the definitions of a parallelogram, opposite angel measures have to be the same, while AECF have angle 1 to angel 1 and angel 2 to angel 1. We can conclude that AECF is <u>NOT</u> a parallelogram. (Sorry, you didn't give me the full question so some information remains unclear. )
